The main goal in this family childcare is to have fun, improve social skills and encourage creative expression. We will use a variety of activities to accomplish this goal. Free play, reading & storytelling, creative arts, dancing, dramatic play/pretend are just some of the activities we will be doing.
The children have the option to do art everyday however, it is never imposed. For young children, art is a way for them to communicate how they think and feel, what they believe, and a means to learn.
The focus is on the creative process, not the finished product. The process is where the learning occurs. Art will be child-centered. To achieve this, we have installed an open-ended art shelf. There will always be a variety of paper, small and large felt pens, crayons, pencil crayons and scissors available.
Children’s literature is also a big part of our day. I will have scheduled circle time and story time for many reasons throughout the day including to quiet things down, explore the children’s interest in a topic and admire the illustrations. The children are free to listen and look or if not interested they can play with something else.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
