Sparkling Star Family Daycare

Curriculum plans have been developed to meet children's individual needs and interests. Alternating periods of quiet and active play are offered. Weather permitting children will go outside each day. We usually walk in the neighbors. Playtime is designed to be non-gender based. There will be group activities each day as well as opportunities for children to play individually. I teach children basic self help skills such as feeding themselves and putting on their own socks and shoes when developmentally ready, it develops their self-confidence when they can do things for themselves. I encourage all children to try everything, but never force them to do something against their will.
Examples of activities: listening to stories, learning songs and finger plays, simple science experiments, painting, and simple food preparation.

Children will have a "nap or rest time" each day after lunch. Infants will nap on their own schedules.
