At Growing Minds Child Care, LLC, I strive to provide a welcoming, safe, stimulating, creative, and nurturing environment for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I encourage children to try new things, ask questions, explore ideas, and discover themselves. I believe that children should experience numerous positive learning milestones, leading to an increased sense of competence and independence. I provide exposure to sights, sounds, and experiences to help children learn and grow. I teach children life skills such as learning how to share, taking turns, following directions, and using words to solve problems. I believe children's play is extremely vital to healthy physical development, acceptable social skills, and cognitive growth. I provide unconditional love and emotional security, a sense of routine, and an opportunity to be creative and playful. I believe children are precise and must receive care from adults who are capable and caring, whose values enable them to be excellent role models. I also believe parents contribute to, and enhance the quality of care offered at Growing Minds Child Care, LLC.
