The Mission:
At Little Stars Daycare, I believe in the value and uniqueness of each child I serve. My childcare experience is designed to promote each child’s own individual social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. As a caregiver and educator, my mission is to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate learning environment, which fosters a child’s natural desire to explore, discover, create, and become a lifelong learner.
We know that children also learn through play; because of this, I do not underestimate its importance on a growing child's mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the children under my care receive lots of both free-play and structured-play throughout each day. Age-appropriate activities will be scheduled with the flexibility allowed to respond to the needs of each individual child and their various ages.
Three to four-year-olds learn through play by utilizing flash cards, books, numbers, shapes, colors, the alphabet, stacking blocks, puppets, age-appropriate toys, and much more. I encourage participation, but the child will not be forced to participate. Most importantly, my goal is to make learning for all ages fun, and non-intimidating. It is my hope to start helping to get your children ready for pre-school/kindergarten.
