Community Adventures Preschool

3618 Bernwood Place. San Diego, CA

8 mi

Community Adventures Preschool is a licensed home-based preschool, located in the Carmel Valley neighborhood of San Diego, California. We maintain, at most, a 1:6 ratio so your child receives the individual care and education they deserve with an emphasis on social and emotional development. Our ratio is 1:3 or 1:4 in the mornings for our community adventures. An integral part of our program is the time we spend out and about in our community. Each day the children have the opportunity to explore nature and continue to develop their sense of curiosity about the world. Our space is within walking distance of a neighborhood park where the children have the freedom to play, explore, and get dirty. We are also within walking distance of a bluff and grassy area that overlooks the ocean, a library, multiple stores and restaurants, an elementary school, and more. We are active participants in the larger community around us. During these adventures, we maintain a 1:4 or lower ratio for the safety of the children. Our approach is play-based and we are inspired by the Reggio and RIE philosophies. Our curriculum is emergent - we believe children learn best when the curriculum is designed around their interests and they have the ability to freely explore and gain hands-on experience at their own pace. Our indoor environment is full of open-ended objects for children to develop their creativity and imagination. Our goal is to inspire a love of learning, rather than focusing on memorization. Our current program is designed for children 2 1/2 - 4 years old. We are open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30AM to 4:30PM. We offer extended hours for an additional fee.

After the closing of Santa Fe Montessori (due to owners retiring), LePort is continuing the legacy at this beautiful property as LePort Montessori. We invite you to explore our programs and learn more about our philosophy and commitment to bringing the best Montessori education to every student and their family.

• Philosophy of my Childcare is for children to learn: - How to live in a peaceable environment. SOLVING). - How to resolve conflict peacefully (PROBLEM - How to appreciate diversity. - How their ideas are unique. - How to feel safe and confident _ promote their creative mind Learning how to live with others peacefully is an enormous challenge for all of us. The best time to begin this is from first year of life. The society is bombarding children with violence and undermining their development of positive social skills. At my childcare environment, everything is built around the child’s need in a very safe, nurturing, and comfortable relationship based on their individual needs. This program is very stimulating in areas of physical development, intellectual, social interaction, and emotional expression. Problem solving is the way to teach children to resolve conflicts by self- control, and be respectful to others, so this will happen through; ACTIVE LISTENING, NEGOTIATION, SETTING LIMITS, and AFFIR MATION. Active listening: Let children to express themselves, and think about their problem. Negotiation: Helps them listen to each other, and work together in a conflict situation. Setting Limits: To stay safe, and not to harm each other. Affirmation: Children need to know they are important as well as their words and emotions. It is essential for children to enjoy their environment (home, childcare setting, school...).Then they stretch their capacities for learning and use their intelligence Home Child Care is a form of self-employment that has no room for expansion due to licensing regulations. Unlike other businesses, there are no benefits like: retirement plan, health insurance, annual raises, or paid sick days. Childcare.
