| We have developed a learning program centered around the Bible stories. Using the Bible stories, people and events to help children learn letters, numbers, colors and shapes. This also helps children learn the basic principles of kindness, compassion and respect for themselves and others. |
| We have hands-on project time three days a week where children two and over have the opportunity build and create in a guided environment. The projects are related to the theme of the week based on the Bible story along with a letter of the alphabet, color, shape and/or number of the week. |
| The children also spend time in task groups or centers. These groups and activities vary day to day. The children may be asked to do an individual task associated with a larger group project or asked to work with other children to accomplish a task as a team. These activities help the children learn how to work together, compromise, communicate, and solve problems as a team. |
| We also have a writing group for our 3 1/2 to pre-K children. |
Project time is for fun and learning through guided activities. The children get a chance to express their creativity through many avenues of art. They build and create with paint, glue, sticks, buttons, felt, foam, paper, and just about anything we can find. This skill development time is essential to strengthen small motor skills, eye hand coordination, reasoning, problem solving and all sensory development. Because the children that we work with are so young all the parts and pieces are pre cut or fashioned in a manner to limit frustration and make the time enjoyable. Below are some sample projects you can see details of on the three project pages.
Writing Group
We also have a writing group for our 3 1/2 to pre-K children. They learn through hands on practice and guided exercises the basics of writing.
Writing the Letter “R”
In
writing group the children use large pencils and at time felt tip pens.
We begin with tracing over circles and lines.
The letter of the week is the letter we focus on writing.
The letter “R” is experienced both in upper case and lower case
giving a dotted example to trace and then the child is encouraged to write their
very own letter “R”.
On this particular example there is a picture of the rainbow ,which
begins with the letter we are writing.
After a time of concentrated writing, the group is able to color the
picture with crayons, bringing them into a relaxed and confident end to the
task.
Writing
group brings children who are ready into more extended focus time, teaching them
completion of a task in a timely manner, preparing
them for the public or private school system.
They find new challenges and excitement about their new success.
Kids Kuisine
From Papa's Kitchen
| We serve Breakfast, Lunch and an afternoon Snack. All food is prepared fresh. |
| We do not use microwave or microwave food for the children in our care. |
| We enjoy our food and like to prepare things that are nutritious that the kids will like and eat. |
| During the summer we BBQ on Friday, Chicken Legs, Hot Dogs & Hamburgers. |
| Our goal is to make meal time a fun and enjoyable social time. |
Why Structure
Structure is a major part of our program. We have daily scheduled activities to keep the children active and involved.
We have seen over the years that children thrive in an environment where structure is present and the children know what to expect from day to day. Our schedule is designed to have structured and guided activities and also allow ample time for free play for the development of imagination and creativity.
Hours Of Operation
We are open from 7:00 AM until 5:30 PM Monday through Friday.
| Schedules - Our schedules are a basic guideline for our day. We use
these to keep us on track and keep the children motivated and active.
Our schedules may change from day to day depending on individual and group
needs. |
| Summer Schedule - During our Summer schedule we continue to run full
preschool program, including water play in the afternoon. Our
schedule may change on a daily basis depending on weather conditions and
heat. For example, on days that are to be extremely hot, we will take
children for extended outside play right after breakfast and stay inside
during the
afternoon for free play. |
| Winter Schedule - During the Winter we have the children outside during scheduled times as much as possible. We usually spend more time inside due to weather. We use a lot of group activities and games to help the children learn colors, numbers, shapes, and develop small motor skills and problem solving skills. Music time also gives an opportunity to have structured movement for the large muscles during those rainy days. |
Music Time
Music time is a time when the children get to sing, dance and play many percussion instruments. This time is also used to do some circle time activities using motion and dance to help develop large motor skills. These activities stimulate large muscle groups and teach perception concepts such as right, left, in, out, up, down and turn around. This is a fun creative time for all our children and helps them develop rhythm, appreciation and love for all music. We use standard children's songs as well as Modern pop music, pop Gospel, and Christian rock during music time.
Parents Page is designed for the parents who have children enrolled in our daycare. This provides information on what we are currently working on. We have provided the Bible scriptures from (NIV) Bible that we are working on for the month. You may go to the pages listed below to review scriptures that we will be working on or listen to audio clips provided. We have also provided the letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and principles we will be teaching so parents have the opportunity to reinforce these concepts at home.
| Integration The babies in our care are fully involved in our program when they want to be. We allow them to participate in activities such as music and learning times as they are ready. They have the opportunity to interact with other children at a young age. The babies seem to really enjoy the older children. The older children enjoy playing with and teaching the babies new things it's like they have a little brother or sister. Our older children have been raised with babies around and are very kind and gentle with the infants. We allow 4 infants, age 2 years and under, in our care at one time. |
| Education We have age appropriate toys that help stimulate awareness and sensory growth for infants. As the children get older we have games and toys that help them with the development of small motor control. When the babies are ready we work on basic concepts like shapes, colors, numbers and animals with hands on fun activities. These activities help develop speech and awareness. |
| Sleeping We have a separate room where the babies sleep based on their schedules. We accommodate their schedules so they have the opportunity to sleep when they need to and get the rest they require. We have found that in the child care environment babies become very aware at an early age and do not want to miss out on all the fun. |
| Eating We ask that parents provide formula for their children and we provide all baby food along with bottles (Avent). We move children to solid food as they develop a desire and require additional nutrients. They are monitored very closely while eating to insure they can handle eating solid foods. |
We enjoy the babies in our care it is a wonderful and rewarding experience to watch babies develop into toddlers, then preschoolers, and into little men and women. We have had many children come back after they have been in school for a few years and they have become bright lights in our world.
