Description: OUR PROGRAM AND PHILOSOPHY We believe that nurturing and supporting children's healthy soci-emotional development is our most important job during their early years. We view every experience in daily living as a learning opportunity for young children. We provide a ?hands-on?, play-based environment with the Zoo Phonics curriculum. We provide space, time, and materials so that children can make choices and actively explore planned learning activities that are age appropriate. Teachers facilitate learning with frequent warm and positive interactions with children. Each age group follows a daily program of activities that are developed by the teachers with the Center's assistant director and director. We adapt routines to meet individual and group needs, making use of the particular advantages of our class rooms/space, and the interests and talents of our children, families, and teachers.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
