Nadeau's Playschool

Children need a ¿child-friendly¿ environment that is safe, caring and comfortable and will promote equally all areas of a child¿s development; physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. Children should be provided with balance, a variety of activities, and types of involvement that takes into consideration all the different learning styles. There must be enough flexibility within these planned offerings to spontaneously ac-commodate group or individual needs, unexpected circumstances, or personal visits. Opportunities to learn how to function effectively within a group setting and become aware of the needs of others, while at the same time being accepted as an individual, are also important to a young child¿s development and should be considered in any program. Our childcare center has a goal to provide an enriching environment: which supports the needs of each child. We respect each child as an individual with the potential for growth and learning. We provide loving care, and we nurture each child¿s self-worth. We offer many choices for children. We treat children with respect. We listen as well as talk to the children. We offer an environment with a variety of experiences. We believe in a child-centered model of care giving. We provide a routine to allow for appropriate eating, sleeping, learning, and physical activities. This routine is flexible to the needs of the children, staff, special events and the weather. During the course of the day, your child will experience group and one-on-one activities, outdoor play, music, art, and early language and reading activities. They will also have the opportunity to participate to be helpers, doers, and watchers. The childcare center is open to parents for visits at any time. Some times are easier for staff and children. All times are interesting for parents. All holidays and birthdays will be celebrated, and we encourage families to participate and share any traditions and knowledge of holidays and cultures you may have, as long as they are appropriate for the children. We do not add religious content to our curriculum. We typically cele-brate holidays with a classroom party or curriculum activities planned out. If you feel you want to do something special for your child¿s birthday, the staff will be happy to help you carry it out. Developmentally appropriate toys are always available for free play. Each week a new curriculum plan is posted so that you know what your child is experiencing at Nadeau¿s. Classroom schedules are included with each age group ori-entation packet.
