Little Beginnings, a non-profit, parent cooperative, full-day child care center in Arlington, Virginia. Our center's philosophy is modeled on Dr. Becky Baileys Conscious Discipline program. We strive to teach children self-regulation and conflict resolution skills. Our curriculum is based on Teaching Strategies, The Creative Curriculum philosophy. We provide a wide-range of hands-on activities that encourage children to problem-solve, ask questions, experiment and discover while their cognitive, social, emotional, physical and self-help needs are being addressed. During the course of each day, the children have the opportunity to engage in discovery play and active learning through small group encounters and whole group experiences. Teaching Strategies assessment is designed to address all developmental areas, to guide planning from birth to 6 years. We are proud of our small group sizes and low adult-child ratios.
