Our Activities

The goals of my program are to provide your child with an environment in which they can feel comfortable and safe. A warm, homey atmosphere in which they will be able to grow, explore, learn and develop on his/her own level.

In a family childcare children have the opportunity to learn from children both older and younger. Being a part of a close knit mixed-age group fosters helpfulness and compassion, reinforces responsibility for self and others, and allows children to experience sibling roles outside of their own family structure.

Each month brings many new activities that revolve around themes. Young children learn best through activities that interest them. Each month will focus on a few new letters, colors, numbers and shapes we learn about as we play. We will concentrate on one theme at a time, and many of our activities will revolve around this theme (stories, crafts, music, games, puzzles, cooking, etc.). Many of our themes and activities are geared around the children’s interest; with a small group, it is always fun to do. Many times through the children's interest and questions our curriculum moves to a new level and everyone learns so much more!

There is a nice mix of curriculum driven activities and free play. I believe young children should have plenty of opportunity to free play and explore. This strengthens social skills as children play with their peers and learn to problem solve.

Learning, growing, having fun!
