Description: Seeds of Knowledge offers preschool and daycare for ages 4 months to 10 years of age. We are a registered daycare ministry of Floyds Knobs Christian Church. Our curriculum has a primary emphasis on the individual child. Our classrooms are center-based with new activities and lessons planned regularly. Rooms are designed so that children have numerous choices within an environment of maximum learning. Teachers act primarily as facilitators encouraging a strong partnership between the home and the daycare.
Seeds of Knowledge is designed for children to explore newly found independence. Through individualized prescribed instruction, they engage in stimulating activities led by skilled and trained Lead Teachers. During their day, children take part in “hands-on” social interactions, physical activity, preschool, arts, crafts, and dramatics which build on their individual character.
While under careful guidance and direction, the children are given opportunities to express themselves and to be creative through active learning. We have prepared organized “imagination stations” that are developmentally appropriate for them to interact freely with peers and designed for team development in a diverse setting.
Seeds of Knowledge was previously run under the name Play 4 Hours. Play 4 Hours opened in October of 2007 and Annie Shearer took ownership in January 2010.
All teachers are trained and certified in First Aid and CPR. Each of them are involved in the community and have several years experience working with and caring for children of all ages.
We will continue to grow professionally through further education and training with the help of my staff and the community.
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.
