Curriculum

The goal of the curriculum is to combine learning with the children's daily life. My daily daycare routine will include the following:

Individual greeting and good-bye to all children
Arriving/leaving time is used to share information with Parents
Individual and group activities are scheduled in the morning and afternoon
Naps are scheduled daily
Both active and quiet play opportunities are scheduled daily, indoors and outdoors, weather permitting
Loving environment offers cultural diversity, awareness and acceptance of
differences
Healthy well-balanced meals and snacks are served daily including breakfast,
lunch, and two snacks
Circle time is done in the morning and afternoon

The curriculum offers opportunities to learn in the areas of:

Language skills- reading books, retelling stories, conversation, singing
Art/Small motor- art work, puzzles, blocks
Music- music tapes, sing-alone programs, musical instruments, finger play
Outdoor/Gross motor- swings, slides, ride on toys, sand box, bubbles, picnics.
Indoor fine motor- dance, exercise
Dramatic play/Imagination- house play with dolls, dress up, construction etc.
Science- sorting, nature
Self help skills- washing hands, brushing tees, potty training, using good manners, putting on socks/shoes/hats.

Active daily schedules mixed with fun and laughter is the recipe for a great environment for child to learn and grow!
