Description: Dear Parents, The most important thing in your lives is the well-being, both mental and physical, of your children. It is paramount that they, during their early formative years be in an environment which promotes their growth – social, intellectual, physical and emotional! It is during these vital years that your child is the most energetic, creative, questioning – and most important to all – open to learning. At YUMA PRESCHOOL, through group sharing of everyday experiences, your child will develop a willingness to talk, to have personal security in group situations, and the ability to listen, observe, and follow directions. Such activities as playing games, singing songs, listening to records, films, picture books and telling stories are utilized to develop language and listening abilities.
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.
