​Play Based Learning:

Play is at the heart of my child care. I will provide your child an indoor and outdoor space that is designed for children. My child care area is safe and clean. Your child will be able to freely explore, grow, and learn through play.

 

Through play children can develop social and cognitive skills, mature emotionally, and gain the self-confidence required to engage in new experiences and environments. Our daily schedule is flexible and relaxing. Each child is given the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace.

 

Activities include:

Active play: running, jumping, climbing, riding, and other use of large muscles.

Quiet play: reading, stringing, coloring, etc.

Cooperative or social play: games and activities that involve more than one.

Solitary play: drawing, dreaming, or any activity that involves only one.

Manipulative play: putting together puzzles, building with blocks, cutting and pasting, or any activity that involves eye-hand coordination or fine  motor skills.

Creative play: painting, molding, solving problems, making music, telling stories, or any activity that involves a child’s imagination.

Dramatic play: dress-up, make-believe, or any play that involves pretending.
