At Teddy Bear Day Care, I strongly believe that children learn best though play.
I feel it is my responsibility to provide interesting , stimulating toys, equipment and environment to
facilitate this.
I provide equipment to meet a wide range of developmental stages. Each child is different and grows and develops to their own personal timetable.
A lot of ‘programming’ happens in the moment, taking advantage of everyday learning and the children interests. The children are asked what they would like to learn about or I base activities on current interests and develop a theme around it.
I feel, by truly listening to the children and their families, it shows the respect that they each deserve.
Emphasis on the program is quality care in a family like setting while actively giving the children a chance to develop social, physical, emotional, language and cognitive skills. A balance of care that supports families as the main care giver.
Programming is centered around children’s interest with the process of “doing” being the learning outcome rather than an end result to take home. This way the children develop and learn new skills that prepares them in readiness for school.
Each day our activities include circle time, lots of stories, Music singing action games and rhymes playing outside.
We also get creative with food, making our own snacks, cookies,muffins and even our own cheese.
