The purpose of Upton’s Little Saints Christian Preschool is a sound academic education within a warm, caring family environment. Our emphasis is on providing a basic Christian philosophy of love as an approach to life. We live in an economy that forces an increasing number of parents to seek child-care facilities for their children. At Little Saints, every child will be in a nurturing, academic, family environment to foster a life-long love of learning. Our teachers focus on preparing each of our students for Kindergarten and beyond. . . Kindergarten is not what it used to be. The expectations for children entering Kindergarten are also not what they used to be. Years ago, children would go to Kindergarten to learn their letters and numbers. Now they start addition, subtraction, and expect children to already be able to write their names and recognize sounds. School districts also expect children to be past the separation anxiety many children experience being away from their parents, be able to sit and focus on a lesson, complete tasks that are given to them without getting distracted and have the social and emotional development to be in a room with 30 other children their age. As you can see there are high expectations for incoming Kindergarteners. This is where Little Saints can help. We use a research-based approach that is individually tailored to each child to help them reach their full potential and prepare them for their educational future.

From my experience working in daycares over the years, I have seen that children do better when there is some structure and routine to the day. In my home, we have a blend of both gross-motor activities and sensory / dramatic play activities. One of my favorite activities to do with the kids is actually yoga. It all started when I was at work several years ago and stretching my legs, simply because I was sore from exercising. I noticed the kids starting to imitate me. Watching how they moved their bodies in different ways and learned how to control their bodies, seemed very interesting. Since then I've researched kid-friendly yoga practices, including some fun activities like the Alphabet Poses, where we act out each letter with our bodies. For infants that can't hold the poses, they'll play in my lap and I'll help guide them towards certain movements that help them explore their limbs and bodies. It's really good healthy fun for all ages. Lastly, another key pillar of my program is centered around nutrition. I am a true believer in the importance of healthy habits, and eating healthy meals is a big part of that. What is NeighborSchools? NeighborSchools helps experienced caregivers launch and operate licensed home daycares in Massachusetts. With better ratios and experienced caretakers, home daycare allows for more individualized attention for infants and toddlers.
