Children do best when they know what to expect, with a schedule they can count on. Our day is a combination of free choice and directed activities . Exposure to developmentally appropriate materials allows children to try new things, while gaining skills and confidence. Children are encouraged to dress themselves, put on shoes, brush teeth, clean up, help others ; leading to positive self-esteem.
Children are given time to resolve conflicts with solutions , younger children are redirected.Quiet time with a book or cuddle toy may diffuse an escalating situation.
We follow a preschool curriculum, toddlers can participate as they are able. Art activities focus on process and not product, our crafts are left open ended to provide the opportunity to create individually. Fine motor activities like Legos, play dough, and coloring develop eye - hand coordination to aid in writing skills. Outdoor play, and indoor active play increase muscle strength and coordination.
Being part of a family type group fosters social, emotional and cognitive skills.
Mostly we spend the day playing, that is how children learn. Having a safe caring place to play and grow, where you can be yourself ,and be loved ,is the best place to be.
