We are pleased to invite you and your little ones to Yelena 's Educational Place. Our mission is to build an educational childcare program where the needs and interests of children come first. A place where children will receive the individual attention and care that they need to grow and learn at this important stage of their lives; where children feel safe and secure and comfortable enough to build strong friendships, and where parents can take comfort in knowing that their children are receiving the highest level of care. We offer full time/part time childcare for 16 months old-5 years old. At Yelena 's Educational Place, we encourage our students to learn about the world around them, and the community they live in. All children benefit from exposure to the world at large, as long as the exposure and experience are in line with their developmental ability to engage in an activity. For younger children, this might mean a walk to the Fire Station or to the mailbox to mail their friend a letter or a buggy ride around the neighborhood provides much opportunity for language development as their teacher speaks to them about the things that they see as they go. At our program we have interest learning areas or centers: blocks/cars, dramatic play, sensory, art, music and movement, manipulatives and outdoors. The Creative Curriculum that we employ at our program is one that actively involves parents in their child's learning process by providing tools that extend the lessons of the day into the home at night. Nationally recognized for being forward thinking, comprehensive, and rigorously researched, The Creative Curriculum is designed to help us/teachers prepare and implement content-rich, developmentally appropriate programs for children of any age. This curriculum uniquely balances teacher-planned and child-initiated learning, while emphasizing responsiveness to each child's strengths, interests, needs and learning styles in every developmental area. Our Main Goals to support children to be: Creative, Inquisitive, Flexible, Critical thinkers, Purposeful and reflective, Social learners. Yelena's Educational Place is a safe, nurturing, loving and creative place where Education , Play and Care go hand in hand. My name is Yelena Pasternak and I am the owner of Yelena's Educational Place. I have been working in the early childhood education field since 1992. This wonderful journey has provided me with many amazing opportunities and life lessons along the way,

I have always loved working with children and animals for as long as I can remember. I am a loving cheerful and patient mother of three, with many years of experience and education in childcare. I m a smart and energetic person with a lot of creative ideas. Crafting, planning activities, cleaning and organizing, playing sports, and music are all very fun activities to me. I like going on hikes and being outdoors in nature. Nature and bug hunts are the best. I love playing volleyball. I have a knack and keen ability through observation to see different behaviors children have as they are growing and be able to help the child resolve and focus on the best outcome, and realize why a child is behaving the way they are. Over 23 years of experience caring for children. Later in my education I took 3 semesters in Early Childhood Education and took 4 years of Psychology with a focus on Child Psychology. I have been a Girl Scout leader since 2011 and took over as the Girl Scout Service Unit treasurer in 2014. I have nannied for a couple people for a total of 10 years. I have worked in three preschools one in CT, one in NY, and one in Atlanta, GA for a total of 6 years. I babysat local children from the age of twelve consistently throughout my high school days and full time in the summers before I was 16. Once I was 16, I life guarded & babysat and have stayed certified and active with my CPR and First Aid training to date.

36 Carlson Drive New Hartford, CT

State licensed home daycare. Preschool activities, 3 daily meals, large in and outdoor play areas. Kindergarten Readiness Program. Learning through play is our goal. Lots of hands on activities. Flexibility and catering to each individual child are my goals. Learning is not a &quot;one size fits all&quot; process. Each child is unique and I strive to find how each child learns as an individual and make my lesson plans work around that. We get outside daily, weather permitting, and explore, play, learn, and interact. Learning how to get along with a group of people to ensure success in life later on is my main focus. We learn the &quot;ABC's and 1,2,3's&quot; as we learn how to get along with others. Social interactions are so limited now with all the technology kids have access to and are encouraged to use. I am a huge believer in teaching kids social interaction skills, so that they will know better how to express themselves as they get older.
