Description: The goal of the Vermont Achievement Center Early Education and Care program is to promote independence, self-esteem and growth in the areas of motor skills and language development, play skills, social competency and school readiness. Every child is a gift to their family, friends, and community. Children warrant respect, dignity, safety, love and knowledge. Quality caregiving nurtures each child and their family to reach their full potential through promotion of their individuality, culture, relationships, strengths, and genuine value. Play-based education provides opportunities for chidlren to safely experiment with the world and to experience the joy of pursuing one's passions and talents. Children inherently deserve quality caregiving and education each moment of their day. Activities include: art/craft, circle time, daily outside play, dramatic play, regular daily routine, part day preschool program, sand/water, songs/music, and story time/literacy activities.
