Description: Budding Babe's daycare center provides a safe and loving environment where self-concepts are enhanced, independence encouraged and academic excellence is fostered. We are quite unique because at our day care our focus is on developing individual child care plans which stimulate social and cognitive awareness and skills.
We believe children should have fun! After all, even the experts agree that preschool age children learn most through play. These carefree years are so short, and soon the children will be exposed to a much more structured form of learning. During their attendance, many activities take place which help promote and enhance basic skills such as (letter & number recognition, color & shape recognition, large motor skill activities, small motor skill activities, etc).
As part of our teaching we incorporate preschool curriculums into our daily activities to prepare the older children for their transition into school.
We have a strong belief that the partnership and relationship between the parents and our staff are vital to each child's growth. As a result we encourage our parents and staff to work together to make sure that each child gets the most out of our program.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
