About the Provider

The Children in the Shoe has been providing childcare for young children for more than 30 years, and we are excited to have this opportunity to tell you about our programs! Our approach to the care of young children is developmental, creating environments which produce secure, well-adjusted children, who are eager and ready to learn. We encourage emotional intelligence through nurturing, kindness, verbal interaction, positive discipline, and encouraging empathy and conflict resolution skills. Our classrooms are rich in opportunities for learning language, math, nature, music, art, and social skills through play, exploration, and the use of carefully planned, age-appropriate materials and activities.

Additional Information: MSDE-Approved Education Program.
