Learning Style
We approach each day as an opportunity to learn and have fun. I am flexible to expand a topic if the
children are very interested but am sensitive to change to another topic if the children are losing interest.
We use a lot of singing, poems and rhyming. These areas readily promote reading and are a fun
way to learn.
Throughout the day children work together. We include all infants,
when their schedules permit. Babies love the socialization and the interplay with the other children. Toddlers join
in but often move on to play with toys, while we continue with our group project. We feel your child will benefit from both
the structured and non-structured learning. All children have the opportunity to have quiet time, when needed. They
can join our group projects or curl up with a good book.
