Curriculum Statement
We provide a rich learning environment with curriculum that are developmentally appropriate to the specific ages in each classroom. We have a flexible day routine that allows children to advance at their own pace. We strongly believe that learning happens through play. Learning and exploring are hands-on and are facilitated through interest areas. Our program is designed to enhance children's development in the following areas: creativity, self-expression, decision making, problem -solving, responsibility, independence, and reasoning . We encourage openness to that which is different from us, and the ability to work and play with others.
Learning and Fun
Your child will enjoy activities ranging from art and craft projects to games, songs, finger plays, storytelling, creative dramatics, exercises, science, shapes, numbers, colors, alphabet, and much more through various monthly themes. Some of these projects will be taken home to share with you and others will be group activities that you can ask about. We know that children learn best by “doing hand on things”. Therefore, the activities the children participate in are developmentally appropriate, concrete, hands-on, and most of all fun, because we believe that learning is an exciting experience.
For ages 24 months and younger we work on and with the following: throughout each day we practice on larger and small motor skills by reaching , grasping , rolling , sitting , crawling , standing , walking , climbing , throwing , catching , kicking , cooing and talking ; whichever developmental stage your child happens to be in at the time. Infants and toddlers learn through play flash cards, books, numbers, shapes, and colors, the alphabets, stacking blocks, puppets, age-appropriate toys and more. We encourage participation but your children do not have to participate if he or she doesn’t want to. Our goal is to make learning for all age’s fun.
Request For: IEP/IFSP
At Young Bright Minds Daycare & Learning Center we believe that children of all ability levels are entitled to the same opportunities for participation, acceptance and belonging in child care. We will make every reasonable accommodation to encourage full and active participation of all children in our program based on their individual capabilities and needs.
​
Due to the diverse needs of the children in our program, it is important to gather as much information about the best ways to engage and educate each child. Your child's growth and development is measured with developmental assessments and teacher/caregiver feedback. If your child currently has an IEP/IFSP, it is beneficial to share a copy of this plan with us so we can work together to ensure that the plans in place are put into practice. You do not have to provide this information if you do not wish to do so.
