 We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, stimulating, fun, educational environment in our home with a semi-structured day plan. Activities will include free playtime, structured playtime, large motor skill playtime, small motor skills activities, story time and theater activities, arts and crafts, music and dance activities, nature and ecology awareness, nutrition, cultural activities, and other educational yet fun activities. We also provide nutritious meals and snacks, and encourage good personal hygiene skills and manners.
 The television will normally be used to only to watch educational programs or activities for the older children or cartoons for yhe younger children. In either case, the programs are personally pre-screened to be appropriate for even the youngest viewers.
 An IBM-compatible computer will be available for all ages to use, but only under supervision. School-aged children may have internet access, upon parental request, but again only while supervised.
|  Through a mixture of guided and undirected creative play, children in our care will have the opportunity to learn about color, shapes, textures, numbers, letters, animals, seasons, feelings, senses, nutrition, personal hygiene, manners, basic science and math concepts, and creative concepts such as "pretend" play, art, music, drama, and dance. These may sound like lofty goals for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but most children learn all of these things and more through creative educational play. I do not believe in pushing any child to learn at an accelerated rate, and will not make a child feel pressured to achieve developmental milestones. By providing the right kind of fun safe environment, I believe the children will learn at their own appropriate pace.
 While we take every precaution to ensure the safety of all children in our care, in case of accident or injury, you will be notified immediately. Our staff is certified in CPR and basic first aid. If in our judgment your child needs urgent medical care, he/she will be taken to nearest Hospital.
