A Play-Based Childcare Curriculum
This childcare center has both full-time and part-time childcare available, which is perfect for parents who have varying work schedules. In addition, the center takes children in both mornings and afternoons who attend half-day kindergarten in Central Valley.
When I visited Little Learners, I saw children who loved to play together and who attentively listened to “Miss Sharon.” Sharon Scott, the director of Little Learners, has years of experience as an early education teacher and has a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. She believes that your child’s natural desire to play serves as a springboard for them to learn important life skills. The day is scheduled to use play as a basis for other skills being acquired by your child. Through teacher-guided play, children learn problem-solving skills and self-regulation so they can appropriately interact with others, while learning language, vocabulary, math, motor, and social skills. Through this kind of nurturing environment, Sharon knows that your child will develop a lifelong eagerness to learn.
Little Learners’ schedule includes:
- Morning circle
- Teacher-directed free play
- Snack
- Sensory exploration/arts and crafts/small motor skills
- Music/movement
- Lunch (You provide a lunch for your child, and Little Learners provides healthy snacks, milk, and water.)
- Story
- Nap
- Teacher-directed free play inside or outside in their play area
