Our goals are to give your child the confidence and skills they need to get ready
for school and just day to day living. Our overall goal is to provide a well rounded
environment of both the physical and emotional needs of your child. We want to be
a positive part of not only your child's young experience but also yours as a parent.
We have an Open Door Policy. You may stop by at anytime to observe your child's
class. We have monitored rooms so that this may be done without disturbing your
child's day and your peace of mind.
Our daily schedule is always based on the age of the room. In each room, we try
to incorporate the following things: free time, centers, teacher time, carpet time,
physical activities, cognitive activities, social skills, manners, values, reading,
group activities, mealtime, music, rest time, outside play, and individual needs
met.
Infant Room - Our infant room focuses on the development of the
basic skills. We try to use a lot of stimulation visually, verbally, and physically.
These teachers use a lot of language and touch, along with meeting all schedules
and needs of your child. The children leave this room when beginning to walk and
starting on table food.
Toddler Room - This fast paced room is geared with toddlers in
mind. We meet their basic needs while giving them plenty of time to explore and
discover. We have lots of floor and table time with the teachers for verbal, visual,
and physical learning. We introduce the basic skills with flaash cards, art, and
play. Learning to share and express ourselves is a big priority in this room.
Two Year Room - This is a very challenging age for parents and
childcare. We start potty training in this room if the child is ready. We are learning
to follow more of a schedule in this room along with more activities and skills,
as much as our little attention span will allow. This is done through different
centers, group time, free play, and teacher time. We work in here on sharing, how
to treat others, and following rules. This room appears from the outside to just
be managed chaos, but there is a lot of learning going on in here.
Three Year Room - We are ready to sit down and learn more, after
all, we know it all at three. We become very independent at this age and are ready
for more responsibility. Our schedule consists of centers, carpet times, free play,
teacher time, and more specified activities and tasks. We hit the basics hard in
this room to begin to master our shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and rules of
behavior that we started in the twos. Potty training is really concentrated on in
this room if they were not ready in the twos.
Four Year/Pre-K - We are getting ready for school in this room.
We also offer the certified Edmond Pre-K program. We still have a free play, carpet
time, teacher time, and centers. We do a lot more activities and learning situations
in this room. We work on our social skills and communication all day. We build on
things introduced in the threes such as classifications, sequencing, phonics, and
numbers. We really stress a schedule and following the rules in this room.
Kindergarten - We give these kids more challenges and build on
what they learned in the fours. We do a lot more independent choice and play in
this room getting ready for school. We also strengthen their social skills at this
age.
School Age - These kids are in school all day. We want to provide
a learning experience by offering different things but they are ready to have some
fun and free time now. We will assist with homework and build on what they are doing
in school. This is their time to socialize while still having boundaries.
