1 BEVERLY DR STERLING, MA

At Little Lumens, we believe in providing children the opportunities to explore their interests and wants through play. Our unique and innovative curriculum will address your child’s growth in the following areas: Social and Emotional Development: We strive to address emotional competence and ability to form positive relationships that give meaning to children’s experiences in the home, school, and larger community. Language and Communication Development: We focus on children’s understanding and use of language, emerging reading and writing skills, and ability to communicate effectively. Cognitive Development: We highlight children’s ability to understand and think about the physical and social worlds. In particular, we focus on children’s knowledge of objects in the world around them; their mathematical knowledge; numbers and colors, and appreciation of art in their lives. Physical Development and Wellbeing: The ability to engage in daily activities by focusing on children’s physical health. We accomplish our goals by taking into consideration the child’s unique disposition for becoming involved in learning and acquiring knowledge. Our curriculum is written specifically to meet and/or exceed the State of Massachusetts “Early Learning Guidelines for Toddlers and Preschoolers”. A weekly curriculum will be planned based on the educational goals and objectives. Projects, manipulatives, and activities will tie back to the “Guidelines”. Weekly reports will be provided to each family highlighting the activities of the week and how those activities tied back to the stated goals and objectives.

6 Horseshoe Lane Clinton, MA

Hi! My name is Karamjeet, and I'm looking for a family in need of loving childcare to take care of in my home! I have many years of experience caring for children from infants through the teenage years, and I'd love to be a long-term part of you and your children's lives, as studies show that children thrive with consistency in caregivers. I've owned a very successful licensed family daycare for 12 years, in which I applied my love of Montessori philosophy to all aspects of my interactions with the children. My childcare style is loving, gentle, respectful of the child as a person, and reliable. I also love to have fun with the kids, taking them outside, and engaging with them. You never have to worry that your kids will spend all day in front of the TV! It s important to me that both you and your children can feel safe and confident with the care I provide, so I welcome any questions you may have. For the past several years I've been managing a holistic health clinic and have learned so much in that experience, but I've decided to return to what I love to do most. Childcare is my true calling, and I m so thrilled to be returning to my roots. You re probably wondering about my personality beyond just caregiving style, so here s a bit more; I am a dedicated, sincere, responsible woman, but also fun-loving and light-hearted. On a personal note, I have 3 children. My oldest daughter is a nurse practitioner, my middle daughter is a kindergarten teacher (I volunteer in her classroom), and my son is about to begin his military career. I love dancing and go to lessons and dances at least twice a week. I live a very healthy lifestyle that helps me stay active and loving life, eating organic, whole foods, and I don't drink, smoke, or use illicit drugs. My home is clean and non toxic. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love to hear from you to set up an interview to get to know each other.

Center based - We understand that when your child is at such a young age it is difficult to choose between preschool and intensive ABA; with our ABA Early Learners Program you do not have to choose! ABA Early Learners program uses our spacious center to facilitate group based programming, socializing with peers, following a schedule while working 1:1 with a behavior technician, implementing ABA strategies. Intensive ABA therapy is 20 or more hours of 1:1 learning a week to educate in a broad spectrum of critical skills while decreasing challenging behaviors that may impede their learning. In Home - ABC's home based interventions target a plethora of skills all within the comfort of your own home. We begin with an individualized treatment plan that is designed with parental input and written by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This treatment plan includes goals in the areas of personal living skills, home living skills, community living skills and employment skills. Our Behavior Technician (BT), will work with your child to provide an intensive treatment plan under the supervision of our BCBA. This treatment plan is comprised of specific goals targeting the increase of self-help, independent living, social, play, and communication skills while decreasing maladaptive behaviors. Each treatment plan is designed with your child and your family in mind to create an ease of service that fits into your day-to-day life.

Once I had my own daughters, I dove head-first into learning everything I could about childhood development and early education. For my program, I am very inspired by the Montessori and Reggio Emilia styles. I'm a big believer in setting up a developmentally appropriate space and then letting children do as much as possible for themselves. We have a daily schedule, but I'm always willing to adjust plans depending on how the children are feeling that day. We read, create music with rhythmic instruments, engage in imaginative play, and spend time outdoors whenever possible, which is always one of my favorite parts of the day. I think it's so important for the kids to spend time out in the fresh air, with lots of space to explore. What is NeighborSchools?
