Children's
attention spans vary. That's OK.
Each
week's lesson plan is presented in many different ways, utilizing
many different media. In this way, it
stays fresh for every child,
meets all children's learning styles and
reinforces previously learned concepts. This
method is ideal whether a child comes once a week or 5 times a week.
Each child is exposed to the same material.
Children's
(and families') schedules change. That's OK.
You
can adjust attendance to meet your child's needs. Create your own schedule;
come any weekday between 9am-11:30am. Pay as you go. You don't pay when you are
on vacation or your child is ill. Maybe you want to start one day
a week until your child is ready for more. Because children learn best through
repetition, we encourage you to create a consistent schedule for your child
allowing them many opportunities to participate in our program.
Children
like to move. That's OK.
We
expect young children to fidget, so we give them plenty of opportunities
to move. Learning takes place by exploring, moving and doing!
We present lessons in all our center activity areas and not always
sitting down.
Children
want to learn. That's OK. (Actually, that's great!)
Our
Knowledge Base domain focuses on letters, numbers, colors and shapes.
Before children can become successful in reading and writing, a foundation must
be established. Our program develops the skills needed to encourage a life long
interest in reading and writing.
Children
ask "Why". That's OK.
Through
our World Awareness domain children learn about the role of community
helpers, recognizing weather patterns and appreciating different cultures.
Children
want to be independent. That's OK.
Our
Daily Life Skills builds each child's ability to interact with their
environment. Our program teaches tracking time by clock and calendar,
contributing to the household and relating to others in a team environment.
Social development in young children is essential to success throughout their
school years.
Children
like hands-on activities. That's OK.
Children
learn thru play. We incorporate open play into our curriculum to give children
the additional time to pretend, explore, make friends, be social and to pursue
interests independently. And, we love messes. Let the kids paint, glue,
glitter, cut, mix,.and enjoy the process of making things in many art media and
cooking recipes.
Children
like to tell what they did. That's OK.
Although,
some will say "nothing", we will fill in the gaps with daily progress reports
to inform you what activities were offered, the learning goals and how your
child did.
