Play is a natural built-in device for learning. Through playing alone and with others, the child learns not only to solve their problems, to increase their knowledge and skills, and to explore their environment, but also to express ideas and feelings with regard to their own relationships. Children learn best by interacting with their environment, through experimenting, singing, measuring, talking, tasting, painting, dancing, hammering, etc.
Every child is inherently worthy of love.
Cooperation, respect for others, kindness and communication are emphasized. No violent toys, war toys or Disney toys are at Bird's Nest Daycare. The Bird's Nest Daycare is located in a separate suite in my home. The advantages of having a low ratio of children to adult allows for greater attention given to the individual child's needs. There is a semi-structured environment with an emphasis on fun, play and learning.
