Families,
Welcome to the Learning Center family! Each family is provided a handbook that will answer most of the questions you may have, but feel free to talk with a teacher or me if you have a question or concern. We are a family-friendly center and we understand your child is a treasure that you are entrusting to us. We also realize you know your child better than anyone and we want your input! You can be involved by participating in the Family Advisory Board which meets several times each year, by attending field trips, evening family activities or volunteer during the day.
Early childhood is a unique time in the life cycle with “windows of opportunities”. Your child will experience a variety of activities to stimulate all areas of growth. Our goal is more than just getting them ready for kindergarten, but in addition, fostering skills that will help them for life. Problem solving, being able to peacefully work out problems, communicate clearly and represent our thoughts in words, writing and through representations such as art, music and dance are all skills nurtured in early childhood. When you visit, you will see children playing and making choices for themselves under the careful observation of our teachers. We create active environments and plan opportunities based on the needs and interests of the children in our programs. Informal conversations with children, displaying their work and special nap time back pats are all simple ways we try to communicate to each child they are valued.
We look forward to working with your family and taking this special journey together!
