Welcome to Play to Learn Childcare! Hi! Thank you for your interest in our childcare center. Whether you are changing childcare or starting childcare for the first time, I understand that it can be overwhelming for both the parents and children involved. Looking for childcare that meets your child's needs and at the same time finding a provider that you feel you can trust with your child can be nerve-racking. I feel it is very important for the parents and the provider to have a very open and friendly relationship to best meet the needs of the children. At Play to Learn Childcare, the team believes that every child is unique. Each child should receive the opportunity to develop social and emotional skills that will help them grow. Our nurturing childcare environment provides each child with the one-on-one attention that will help them to learn important life skills such as respecting others, sharing, polite manners, following instructions, responsibility, emotional control, and problem management. We use an emergent curriculum to educate the children on key learning concepts including colors, counting/math skills, and early literacy. A bonus is a vocabulary in English and Spanish! We allow children to learn through play and guide them to understand these concepts.

Melisha M. says "My son was comfortable and so was I. We never had any issues and if something came up they would always call and communicate. The staff was great and the...

My School!: Philosophy We believe that a high quality children’s program provides a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children while responding to the needs of their families. All of our programs will be developmentally appropriate - both age appropriate and appropriate to the individual needs of each child. Human development research indicates that there are universal, predictable sequences of growth and development that occur in children in the first nine years of life. These predictable changes occur in all domains of development – physical, emotional, social and cognitive. A comprehensive knowledge of typical development of children within the age span served by this program will provide a framework from which our teachers prepare the learning environment and plan appropriate experiences. At My School! We believe that planning successful programs goes beyond considering what is appropriate for a particular age group. Since all children are individually unique; understanding each child’s growth pattern, personality, learning style, strengths, interests, experiences and family background is equally important to our teachers in developing a curriculum that is responsive to these individual differences. Learning is the result of interaction between the child’s thoughts and experiences with materials, ideas, and people. We are committed to providing experiences that will match a child’s developing abilities, while also challenging that child’s interest and understanding.

Children are like sponges they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That s why our child care, afterschool, learning centers and Child Watch programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other. At the Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do homework. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow. The YMCA features award-winning child care programs at our brand new Childcare and Program Center, located at 10 Chamberlain Hwy, Berlin, as well as in your child s school. From birth through middle school, we have a child care program that s right for YOU!
