Description: At Creative Hands Learning Center we strive to provide a quality program for children 6 weeks to 12 years, fostering social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative development through creative experiences and positive relationships. Our goals are: To provide a safe, warm, nurturing, stimulating, and comfortable environment where children can explore their surroundings, and create an understanding of the world around them. To respect each child as an individual with unique abilities, feelings, needs and wants. To develop positive self-concepts by creating an atmosphere geared to successful experiences. To promote character development by teaching and demonstrating the values of caring, honest, respect and responsibility. To give each child a stimulating and creative child care experience that provides him/her with the desire to learn, now and in the future. We strive to create meaningful and trusting relationships between the children, families, staff and community. We believe that children learn best through play and active involvement with people and materials in their environment. Creative Hands Learning Center utilizes Creative Curriculum. Creative Curriculum balances both teacher directed and child initiated learning, with an emphasis on responding to children's learning styles and building their strengths and interests. Creative Curriculum is a scientifically based early childhood curriculum that has been shown to improve cognitive and social/emotional outcomes in young children. Your child will participate in a well planned program, each day the teacher designs developmentally appropriate learning experiences to meet the children's needs for their age group. Our children are engaged in learning through literacy, blocks, dramatic play, toys and games, art, library, discovery, sand and water, music and movement, cooking, computers, outdoor play. Our curriculum shows teachers how to offer children opportunities to make choices, value children's ideas, help children express their feelings in constructive ways, provide appropriate play materials that support and challenge children's abilities., permit children freedom to get messy during play, promote problem solving and appropriate risk setting, provide children with ample time for creative expression, allow children freedom to explore their environment, encourage children to work independently, encourage children to see tasks through to completion, provide appropriate real-work responsibilities and jobs. The Creative Curriculum reinforces early positive growth and opens the door to lifelong learning.
