Description: We believe that this curriculum will help children become self
-
reliant problem solvers who can
set their own goals and follow through on them independently.
We work towards this goal by offering children opportunities, within a carefully planned routine,
to work and play independently, to make choices, to pursue their own interests, and to solve
problems that may arise during the process.
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.
