Kid Works Children’s Center is a play-based and developmental preschool serving children who are 3 - 5 years old and who are potty trained. *** We have 2 programs: Full-Day and Half-Day *** Full-Day Hours: 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Last Friday of the month *** Half-Day Hours: 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Monday to Friday *** Weekly yoga & mindfulness enrichment is included in the monthly tuition. For an additional fee, we also offer an afternoon Spanish Immersion enrichment for children who are 4 - 6 years old. *** Early childhood is such a brief time in one’s life, and research and experience tell us that young children learn best through exploratory hands-on experiences, rather than through worksheets and the rote memorization of facts. Our teaching practices support the needs of Generation Alpha children and the fast changing and unpredictable world that they are growing up in. We follow tenets of different pedagogies to create our own brand of child-centered care and education. We value community-based and constructivist pedagogies that nurture the whole child (Reggio, Montessori, Waldorf) and we also have an amazing outdoor classroom and take full advantage of being outdoors to play and connect with nature (nature-based education). Teachers at Kid Works see themselves as partners for the children and parents, and in partnership we can better support the growth and development of your little one. Kid Works is a dream for young children everywhere!

&quot;We believe the ages of 0-5 offer a critical and unique opportunity for growth and development. Our mission is to provide young children with a safe, fun, and loving environment structured to create a future of lifetime learning&quot; A Child's First 1,000 Days Are Critical. By age 3, a baby's brain has reached 80% of its adult size. The quality of experiences during the first 1,000 days of life establishes either a strong or fragile foundation for everything that follows. When children are encouraged to explore in a safe and supportive home environment and a nurturing child care setting, they experience long-term benefits in the classroom. Did you know that children's brains grow and change more in the first 1,000 days of their lives - that is, from the time of conception to their second birthdays - than at any other time? The brain starts as a handful of microscopic cells. By 2 years of age, the brain has developed into a complex organ that allows children to learn to walk, talk, and read. And it's ready for new changes and experiences, like learning math, reasoning, and complex thought. Stepping Stones provides a safe, clean, beautiful, and stimulating space for your baby. There is two caregivers to 4 Children in this program. Parents communicate every morning about any special needs their infants may have on each particular day. Loving and caring Caregivers give each infant lots of stimulation, attention, and time. We provide the baby wipes and you provide the diapers. Since infants may be sensitive or allergic to certain foods, you provide us with everything your infant will eat or drink. When they go into the next group, we will provide healthy snacks twice a day and healthy home cooked meals. Good infant care is neither baby-sitting nor preschool. It is a special kind of care that resembles no other. Mother &amp; Daughter Duo offering in home Daycare for Infants &amp; Toddlers. We reside in Beautiful Belmont Shore near the Colorado Lagoon.

With a balanced combination of play and academics, through child initiated and teacher initiated activities, children also develop socio-emotional skills, necessary to succeed in life.
