Our philosophy is that children are tender, curious, wonderful beings that need a safe, and enriching environment to thrive and grow. We also believe that children learn from everything, both positive and negative, from what they see and hear.
As your child care provider we understand that each child grows at their own pace, and no two children learn to talk, express themselves, or tie their shoes in the same way. However, generalizations can be made about the ages and patterns in which children acquire skills.
For instance, children often say their first words between 10 and 14 months. Making a good match between what children are capable of learning and doing. The activities that are provided for them is often referred to as ‘developmentally appropriate practices’ developmental level in relation to attention span is very important.
At Giggles & Wiggles, children learn through play in a safe, loving, family-style environment. Our program is flexible enough to meet individual needs, but is consistent with dependable structure for those who need it. Each day the children are given time for independent exploration, a mix of indoor/outside play, nutritional meals/snacks and a wide variety of educational activities that include:
School-age children will be provided with transportation to and from school as it is available, an area for homework, free play, and games. They will also have the opportunity during school closures to venture out and explore the world around them. For example, they may go to a special event at our local library to see The Amazing Reptile/Bird Show, or visit our local water park for a fun day in the sun!
Giggles & Wiggles, is very committed!! We will strive to do our best to provide you with the highest quality care during your child’s time with us. We are excited and are looking forward to a long and happy friendship with you and your family.
Communication is an essential aspect of our partnership. Knowing your child is in safe-hands will give you a peace of mind. We welcome your questions, concerns, and feedback of any kind. Sensitive issues will be discussed in private.
