Darien Day Care

'KIDS PLAYROOM' is a family home daycare located in Norwalk, CT 06850. We are open since October, 2016. We offer child care programs for newborn to 5 years old and after school programs as well. We are focused in helping parents to raise loved and self confident children. We will provide a warm and secure environment for the infants/toddlers/preschoolers, where they can learn cognitive and sociable skills, have fun, make new friends, learn with music, movements, art and crafts, field trips and sharing experiences. We will have routines to make children feel happy and comfy.

I had been a licensed family daycare for thirteen years in Florida, and am now licensed in Connecticut. I have my National Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. And I continually update my education in this profession.
Your child will be involved in many age appropriate activities such as stories, music, art projects, drawing, educational materials, group and individual play, as well as free play. While I provide many different activities, it is important that your child maintain a daily schedule with routine times for naps and meal time. It is my personal goal to not only expose your child to the wonders of learning and sharing, but to do so in a positive, happy, safe and clean environment.
Warm regards,
Rafaela Adames

A childcare provider that assumes responsibility for the care, growth, and development of children in their parent's absence. A daycare that meets the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers and more. Infants need continuity of caregivers to form strong loving relationships that help them feel secure. Infants have the need to develop body movements and explore the world around them while being provided an environment that is safe and as unrestricted as possible. Toddlers are busy and energetic, persistent, and wants to be independent, we encourage our toddlers to do things on their own; as they are working to become independent and self-directed. Preschoolers are natural learners. They love to play, and they learn best through play experiences. Curious and energetic, generally happy, and eager to explore the world around them. Beginner Steps Daycare develops a curriculum considering all the domains of the individual child, what can be challenged, what can be scaffold, and what needs to be structured or unstructured, so every child grows developmentally and educationally. Representing a warm, loving family atmosphere. After all, when you realize that society's most important resource is our children, you begin to see the reason why Beginner Steps Daycare feels this is one of the most important jobs in the world.

Nestled in a beautiful botanical setting our small home-based daycare center offers top of the line child care service and unique nature-oriented program that fosters children's natural sense of wonder and joy of discovery, nurtures their imagination and stimulates them towards learning in general. At Edgewood Academy we believe that children learn best through direct experiences and interaction with people and the world around them. While emphasizing the development of the whole child, we are focusing on strengthening cognitive skills, gross and fine motor skills, language and communication skills through active, hands-on learning where nature-related experiences play one of the most important roles. Edgewood Academy is dedicated to providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that allows children to develop at their own pace. Your child's individual needs are respected and attentively taking care of. In our center you will see no lines to stand, only games to play; no school games, only preschool games; no patterns to follow, only materials with which to create; no complicated, abstract meaning that the child cannot comprehend; only ideas and things to talk about, relate to, compare with, match, fit into, try out, invent, discover and enjoy. Yet, at all times children are being continuously challenged by learning goals we set for them. At Edgewood Academy we foster your child's positive self image, along with his developmental growth in the areas of intellectual, social, physical, and emotional skills, through a variety of group activities, individual play, and quiet periods. Our program makes use of many play and learning materials that help the children gain confidence in their abilities to do and make things. We encourage and teach children to interact and communicate with others while retaining proper discipline without criticism. At Edgewood Academy we are parent-friendly. We welcome parent visit anytime, and we seriously consider all parent suggestions and comments.
