Health Services builds upon the promise that a healthy child will learn more readily. This important part of the program provides mental and physical health, dental and nutrition services to enrolled children and families. Education Great emphasis is placed on the educational and social needs of each child. Teachers plan and initiate activities that challenge children to learn at grow at their developmental level, but that do not stress them in the process. We have learning topics each month called themes.
Children engage in activities called key experiences.
These experiences reflect the basic, long-range goals teachers have for each child. It is designed to encourage the initiation of learning experiences by both children and adults. Key learning experiences for children and on-going observation and evaluation form the foundation for this developmental approach to educating young children. Through daily planning and evaluation sessions, teachers provide activities and generate strategies to challenge children's emerging abilities and to encourage children to develop and persue their own interests, talents and goals. The curriculum model encourages teachers to focus on development principles and to build on children's existing strengths and accomplishments.
