In-Home daycare
Welcome to Kids Are People Inc, Group Family Child Care. We have a vital role in supporting and enhancing the value of children’s play. Our role as a caregiver is the same as that of a parent, children need to feel loved and protected in our care. We believe that boosting self-esteem and self-confidence in children is an important part of our daycare program. Your children are encouraged to express their feelings and learn to be self-disciplined and self-motivated. Providing a rich variety of materials will allow children the opportunity to explore and learn by their activities and experiences. They can have fun and enjoy socializing with others while learning. Children are, for the most part, independent and like to do things on their own. We believe that children thrive when they are able to experiment and test things out for themselves. They need to make mistakes and figure out conclusions on their own, or with assistance. We believe that a teacher’s role is to listen, observe and understand the strategy that children use in a learning situation. Children ages 16 months through 5 years are invited to the educationally progressive Kids Are People Inc., where they encounter opportunities to develop academic, motor and social skills. In the loving, safe, relaxed, and clean environment, the experienced staff provides children with the necessary tools, such as mixed age groups, individualized attention and hands-on activities to intensify and strengthen each child’s understanding of himself, others and their surroundings. At Kids are People Inc., the well-balanced schedule is flexible in order to make children not feel rushed, and is based on their needs. The curriculum developers based the programs on their knowledge of a child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth patterns. In conjunction with what is learned in the classroom, educators create and strengthen relationships with each student’s family to nurture the child’s sense of identity as well as integrating different, but equally important wisdoms. Each child keeps a journal to share daily activities, and monthly newsletters inform families about upcoming school activities and field trips. The school holds class Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm and extended hours available.

Care Member says "My daughter went to Kids Are People for almost 2 years. The staff are very kind and my daughter was very happy and engaged there. They have lots of...
