Our curriculum is theme-based and developmentally appropriate. We began teaching infants by exposing them to books, playing games with them, and helping them reach first-year milestones. We prepare our toddlers for pre-school by introducing them to daily group-time which focuses on reading stories and learning colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. Our space is divided into learning centers which children explore, learn, and play. Three and four year olds are taught pre-school fundamentals and writing skills. Some of the subjects they study include; language and development, phonics, reading, writing, numbers, and art. Other activities that the children participate in, include, but are not limited to the following; books and story-time, Legos, circle-time, tumbling exercises, music and dancing and singing, dress up, play food, interactive stuffed animals, cars/trucks/planes, arts and crafts, puzzles, flash cards, animals/dinosaurs, trains, musical instruments, balls, dolls, various learning toys, various games, bean bag toss, blocks, large beads and string, song games, coloring, sing along story books, painting, science, and puppets. All children participate in daily outdoor recreation and activities (weather permitting). Activities include: jumping, running, balls, racing, catch, bubbles, follow the leader, squirt bottles, ride-on toys, wagons, safe water toys, various games, neighborhood walks, and exploring nature/weather. We want our children to learn, play, and grow in a safe, loving environment. We want our home child care to be one that children love attending and parents love visiting. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to visit and participate in our program activities.
