OBJECTIVE:

The goal here at Cradle to Crayons Childcare is to provide a warm, fun and inviting atmosphere for children.  I believe that children learn more effectively when they are relaxed and when they don't realize they are learning.  Studies show that children learn more effectively through play, interaction and imitation.  Providing a comfortable, stable environment for children in their most formative years is the primary goal at our childcare facility.  My program is state licensed for the care of eight children.  They may range in age from infants up through 4 years old.

My program consists of some structure, but not so rigid that the children are unable to enjoy being children. I encourage all the children in areas such as: creative art, dramatic play, indoor/outdoor exercise, literacy skills (story time, flannel board, puppet theater), science, cooking and an introduction to reading readiness. The children are also introduced to basic Spanish vocabulary and an introduction to sign language.
