Welcome to our Infant Program! Each baby is to be cherished, and our youngest children are cared for in an environment that is especially responsive to individual needs. At Beginnings Child Care Center, our infant classrooms offer an array of bright, stimulating equipment alongside soothing, restful areas, which provides a rich environment for babies to safely explore the wonderful new world around them.  Our Infant Program includes:

A trusting partnership between our caregivers and each baby’s parents
A daily schedule, developed with you, to meet the unique, individual needs of your baby
A detailed account of your child’s schedule and activities, carefully documented for your review at the end of each day

toddlers

ages 2-3

Toddlers are eager, energetic learners. At Beginnings Child Care Center, our toddler classrooms are busy, happy places, where children can learn, explore, sing, and dance. Our program for toddlers was designed to encourage each child’s growing need for independence, and to foster the development of their self-esteem in a safe, supportive manner. Careful consideration is given to classroom arrangement and the selection of developmentally appropriate materials and equipment to encourage learning at each stage of toddler development.  Our toddler program includes:

Daily communication between parents and caregivers
Clearly defined and labeled learning centers to help your toddler understand that materials and equipment have a special place
Ample opportunities for your toddler to practice self-help skills, like eating, using the bathroom, and dressing themselves for outdoor play

3-5 year olds

The classrooms are a carefully planned learning environment that is organized to give the children a choice in activity. Children will be able to rotate through various learning and role play centers throughout the day. Teachers will be trained to guide exploration and mentor the children and will be taught to recognize the teachable moments that provide encouragement and age appropriate challenges.   Each preschool classroom will have daily activities and a lesson plan that reflect the children’s interest and skills.

We will begin and end each day joined together in a circle. Circle time is spent discussing and reflecting on the day’s activities, music, and storytelling. This is the children’s time to express their personal interest and share their experiences with their classmates.   In addition to the planned classroom time we will offer plenty of time for outdoor play. Days that weather does not permit outdoor play children will have the opportunity to play in our indoor gym.

school age

Beginnings Child Care Center provides care and transportation to school age children before and after school, days off from school, and during the summer months.

Beginnings realizes children of this age group need adult supervision, and age appropriate activities along with a healthy amount of independence to properly occupy them. Our program allows opportunities for quiet and restful activities, such as independent reading and individual homework. During the school months, we understand that school age children have a busy schedule and a quiet break is sometimes very welcome. We also provide numerous recreational activities, both indoors and outdoors. Our program also provides opportunities for self-expression through age appropriate art activities, creative writing projects, and play acting. Because it is during these years of development that children require opportunities to express freedom of choice, we encourage them to help select and plan the types of activities that interest them.
