Facility Program Description

Purpose:

At Tudorka Tots we like to provide early childhood education for children in a home-like environment that will be conducive to a child's total growth and development. Our program offers care frominfancy to age 5. Our purpose is to build a strong relationship with the child and family and offer continuous care from age newborn to 5, where siblings can come to the same child care and share the same memories and experiences. <br/>Our Vision & Mission : <br/> <br/>1. Our vision at Tudorka Tots is from the day they are born, all children are cared for with respect, and are seen as unique and individual with surprising capacity to participate in relationships. <br/> <br/>2. Our mission at Tudorka Tots is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and explore by playing. <br/> <br/>3. We believe in fostering your child's unique sense of self and special skills at all stages of development. We do so using positive affirmation and by encouraging your child. Children can accomplish anything with the right mindset. <br/> <br/>4. We actively encourage involvement of each child in all care activities to allow him/her child to become an active participant. <br/> <br/>Our Goals: <br/> <br/>1. To offer a safe and nurturing environment to assist children in becoming self-reliant and independent. <br/>2. We use age-appropriate methods to satisfy each child's physical, emotional and cognitive needs. <br/>3. We offer an education that will allow each child to fully discover him/herself, strengths and weaknesses. Our approach exposes student to culture and experiences that they otherwise would not have the opportunity to encounter. <br/> <br/>Curriculum: <br/> <br/>Infant- <br/> <br/>We use Magda Gerber's philosophy and modify it to each child's needs. <br/>Preschool- <br/> <br/>Our Preschool program is play based, emphasizes an emergent curriculum, and focuses on art as well. The art program focuses on the whole body of the child. <br/>1. Using the hands: for art projects such as painting, play dough, playing with water, sand, puzzles, cooking, etc. <br/>2. Using the body for music, dance (such as learning ballet, folk dances, or ball dances) and dramatic play, and gymnastics. <br/>We also focus on language and speak different languages to children throughout the day. When children are playing they are learning. <br/> <br/>Pre-Kindergarten- <br/> <br/>The early Kindergarten program is designed for children aged 3.6 to 4.9 by September entry into school. This introduction provides a gentle transition into the kindergarten. Our goal is to provide a warm, calm, secure, aesthetic environment in which the children are learning by exploring different material (such as wood, yarn, cotton, paint, etc.). <br/>Ages of Children Accepted: <br/> <br/>Acceptable ages of children at this child care center are: <br/>Infant newborn to 2 years old; <br/>Preschool 2 to 4 years old; <br/>Pre-Kindergarten 4 to 5 years old.… Read more
