PURPOSE
To provide childcare services to children in a dependable, nurturing atmosphere. Establish a home away from home environment for the children in care and give the parents the peace of mind to go to work each day. To promote professional child care.
PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is based on the theory that children learn best through acceptance and understanding. The program is designed to foster the whole child, by meeting their social, emotional, intellectual, as well as physical needs. The small, family-styled grouping offers an interactive, communal environment that promotes self-exploration and discovery. We will encourage the children to test their ideas, develop creatively, and appreciate themselves for who they are. The children are encouraged to make choices that are real, thus allowing them to learn to resolve problems themselves.
We consider the parent to have the primary responsibility for their children and view our relationship as a partnership. The views, values, culture, and heritage of the parent are important and respected by the staff members. We value the trust placed in us and we will strive to provide the appropriate care your child deserves. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere conducive to mutual respect between our daycare and the parents. Such an atmosphere is facilitated by operating an "Open Door Policy" and inviting parents to call and/or drop in at any time.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
We serve Lunch, snacks, naps, toileting, indoor/outdoor play, and activities. All children are given individual attention and made to feel special. They are reassured that they are a valued member of the group. Our small, family-styled grouping provides some great nurturing experiences for the older children and lots of loving stimulation for the younger ones. A lot of energy is devoted to direct interaction with the children.
We strive to provide activities that will be interesting and challenging for each of them. The materials the children use are intended to help them learn through hands-on experiences, so they can test their own ideas and develop their creativity. Basic concepts such as: (shapes, colors, and numbers) are introduced and the children are able to learn through manipulative materials, creative dramatics, music, art and movement, on an individual and small group basis. An ample supply of toys, books, materials, and equipment are available for the children to use. Children will be guided in developing appropriate social, communication and home living skills. Some of our activities will involve ordinary chores, such as setting the table, cleaning up our toys. Others include, cooking, block and lego building, painting, drawing and free play. Genuine interest is shown in the children's work and craft projects. Activities that provide opportunities for the children to succeed are put in place, to help build their self-esteem.
Children are encouraged to talk about their feelings and they are assisted in learning ways to handle those feelings. Organized games and sports are introduced on a regular basis. Outside play is encouraged, because children need sunshine and physical exercise, to promote strong, healthy minds and bodies. We do not believe children should sit idly in front of a television for long periods of time and though the television is used for entertainment and educational purposes, it is used in moderation.
