Childcare
At Childcare, all our activities and lesson plans are designed to keep the children engaged and reinforce early childhood education learning strategies. Some of our signature activities are Circle Time includes, including reading different books to the children and allowing them to identify colors, shapes, and animals in various books – we always applaud their efforts and skills to build self-confidence. Lesson Time focuses on crucial early childhood skills such as handwriting their names, recognizing similar and different things such as shapes, sizes, colors, and doing arts& crafts worksheets that help teach and reinforce knowledge of their ABCs 123s, colors, and shapes. Free Play is just that, fun playtime together. During this time, the children play with different toys and games while also learning overall social skills – interacting and sharing with each other. At Childcare, we promote a language-rich environment – one in which children are surrounded by talking, singing, and reading. We have many opportunities throughout their day, across all activities, to communicate with others and engage in back-and-forth conversations. A rich language environment is essential to children’s early learning. It can have substantial effects on early language, vocabulary, reading, math skills, and children’s social-emotional development. In addition to these activities, we serve healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks to reinforce healthy eating to keep our children energized throughout the day.
