Donnelly's Darlings is a Family Child Care where education is as important as happy, healthy kids! Learning in this early stage should be fun and interactive but in a safe and strict environment. I feel children will learn more if they are kept involved and interested. "One of the biggest tricks of teaching is to stay in charge and still give the children freedom. The goal is freedom within limits. Without limits, classrooms and homes can become chaotic. Children need structure. They need the safety that comes from knowing there are boundaries on what they can and cannot do (Maryln Appelbaum of Appelbaum Training Institute)." Continuing to learn and try out new curriculum or activities are important here for the provider and any assistants as well.

518 Princeton Blvd Lowell, MA

We offer a preschool curriculum which includes teaching the children their numbers, letters, colors and shapes. The program is geared towards children aged 3 and up. Depending on the child s individual assessment, we may start the program early if the child can demonstrate a basic knowledge and understanding. We also do sound recognition and basic adding and subtracting skills. The emphasis is on the children having fun learning. We want their first experiences in a school like environment to be positive and to promote a lifelong love of learning It is my personal belief that if a certain child is not ready for the program, I do not force it on them. I feel by doing so, I would only have a negative impact on their desires to learn in the future. This is not to say I will not push and challenge them to learn, just that it will not be pushed on them if they are not quite capable. They seem to let you know when they are ready. Small cues are noticeable such as wanting to join in the reading or just a general level of interest in what the other children are learning.
