VIRTUAL TOUR

The motto for our day care is...

LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN!

By using a creative, hands-on curriculum, the children

learn the basics, all in a fun and gentle way.

I believe in letting children blossom at their own speed,

as they are all made so wonderfully unique

and have their own timetable for learning.

 

Inside Our Classroom

We spend the majority of day care hours in this 12' x 20' kid-friendly space.

It used to be a 3-season porch but we converted it into a fully insulated,

heated & cooled room for our day care! We installed laminate

hardwood flooring and double pane windows and insulated doors.

My very handy hubby did most of the work himself and I'm very proud of him

and just love the way it turned out! I think it's just perfect for our classroom! :)

 

 

Day Care Welcome Area

Our Parent/Provider Communication Board

holds a Sign in/out sheet, Weekly Menus,

announcements, a calendar of events and

my day care qualification certificates.

 

 

Below that is a lidded bench for kids to sit on while

taking off and putting on their shoes and the kids' shoes

are put inside of it to keep them out of our way.

 

Each child is assigned his/her own coat hook,

Take Home drawer and Keep Here drawer.

 

 

Nearby are a Daily Schedule chart and Job Helpers chart.

 

 

 

 

Housekeeping Center

A kitchen set, play food, pots & pans, dishes,

shopping cart, baby dolls, doll clothes & accessories,

housekeeping supplies, and more keep the kids busy

using their vivid imaginations in this housekeeping

center. This is the only center that I never

remove due to its consistent popularity.

 

 

 

Circle Time Center

 

This is our Circle Time area where our learning activities begin each morning.

 

 

Check out our Circle Time routine from beginning to end

 

 

Toys & Puzzles & Books... Oh MY!

 

Our playroom is stocked with many, many things to keep kids

busy playing and learning all day long!

 

 

 

 

Number Center & Food Pyramid

 

The Counting Activity is a regular part of our

circle time activities. We play several games that

teach and reinforce number recognition, counting skills

and even simple addition and subtraction. This is another

favorite activity, the kids often ask to play the "number game"!

 

Our Food Pyramid poster is often discussed during meal

and snack times. The kids like to make a game out of trying

to figure out which food groups they are eating.

 

 

 

Computer Center

 

We have lots of fun and educational games for

the kids to play on the computer. We do, however,

restrict each child's screen time to encourage

more physical activities.

 

 

 

Day Care Table

 

We have a nice, large table for eating

and enjoying our many creative activities.

 

 

 

We Love to CREATE!

 

We have tons of arts and crafts supplies to keep nurture

the budding artist in every child!

 

 

 

Cozy Read & Rest Nook

 

When a child wants a little relaxation time, they can go to

this little cozy spot. There is a book rack full of fun story books,

a Story Reader with lots of books that read stories out loud,

as well as Leap Pads and other educational electronic games.

 

 

 

Outside Play Area

Our fenced backyard offers plenty of opportunities for fun

playtimes as the children refine their gross motor skills!

 

***********************************

There's Lots to Do in the Backyard!

 

We have a tire swing for the older kids, a swing set,

lots of bikes & ride-ons, a sandbox, Tonka trucks for digging dirt,

tables, slides, climbers, sports equipment and more!

 

Our "Toy Barn" is a shed that stores tons of toys and

other outdoor activities such as bubbles, chalk,

kid-size gardening supplies, bug catching supplies,

water play stuff, a parachute, sports equipment,

winter toys, sandbox toys and more!

 

You can see that our grass doesn't grow too well

from all the little feet trampling over it almost every day...

Oh well, the kids are worth it!
