Precious Child Care

Program Philosophy

I feel that every child is a unique individual. All children learn in different ways, and teachers, children and parents should work together in order to develop the best rate of joyful learning for each child. Every child should progress at his/her own rate.

My purpose is to create an environment in which children feel welcomed, safe,

respected and free to create, imagine and discover. My role as a child care provider is to provide activities that enhance the child's natural curiosity and interest level. It is important to encourage child to participate in a variety of individual and group activities designed to develop language, enhance physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth, skills and attitudes.

I believe that play is a very important part of a developmentally appropriate infant and toddler program. Play is a child's work. It is the young child's way of reaching out to learn about the world around them. In my program, children have uninterrupted periods

of play time in which to enjoy self-chosen activities. With a variety of materials, children are encouraged to work out individual ideas and foster their creativity.

Children including infants and toddlers, go outdoors daily when weather permits and given freedom to play, explore, move and discover under adult supervision.

I believe it is crucial to give every child tender, loving care and make each daily routine a learning experience.

I will always be available to support children who need specific guidance or extra time to make progress in a certain area of development.
