A Day in the Life
Arrival
We encourage you to establish a predictable good-bye routine with your child. Keep it light, fun and let your child know you have confidence in them. Tears are common, and that’s ok. We’ll support your child; we know it’s hard to say good-bye.
Meals
Children’s House participates in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), providing nutritious meals for the children in our care. We serve three meals each day: breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Special dietary accommodations are made for children when necessary.
Exploration
We offer a variety of materials for children to explore through their senses. It’s messy, but oh-so delightful. It’s best to keep that beautiful white sweater from grandma at home.
Stories
We believe the foundation to literacy is a love of story. We take children’s literature seriously and offer a rotating selection of the most current children’s literature titles right along side of the classics.
Nature
We play outside everyday, rain or shine! Dress for the weather; children are naturally drawn to mud and puddles. We do stay indoors for high-winds or extreme weather conditions.
Music
A local musician visits weekly, sponsored by Pied Piper, to provide engaging musical enrichment. But, we don’t have to wait for Tuesdays for a serenade. Music is enjoyed throughout each day.
Creativity
The classrooms are filled with engaging open-ended materials. These invoke creative, symbolic, spatial, and mathematical thinking.
Readiness
We aim to send our children to kindergarten as capable and confident learners ready to take on new challenges. A love of learning is the greatest success!
Rest
An afternoon Quiet Time gives us all a chance to rest our bodies. Children who are no longer napping choose a quiet activity, book, or listen to soft music.
Our School Day
To accommodate the varied scheduling needs of families in our community,
we offer the option of two, three, or five full days for enrollment.
Monday - Thursday : 8:30 am arrival - 3:30 pm pick-up
