< 1 mi

Welcome to Little Chickadees Childcare! Little Chickadees' is a home daycare located in Brimfield, Ma that is licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm. Offering full time, part time, and before/after school care. As your child's care provider I will create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment that builds your child's educational foundation. Children will participate in structured hands on activities following the busy toddler curriculum, as well as free play, throughout their day. After working as a preschool and kindergarten special education teacher for 5 years in a local school district, I decided to begin a new chapter and open a home daycare. Having a home daycare allows me to be home with my son while continuing to teach young children. I have a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters degree in Special Education. In addition to being licensed by the Department of Early Ed and Care, I hold my Massachusetts teacher's certification in early childhood, elementary education, and moderate disabilities.

Does your child have a passion for imagination? Do you want a summer camp that promises loads of outdoor activities, educational yet engaging content, and a highly skilled staff dedicated to making every camper feel included? Welcome to The Story School! Our Wizards &amp; Warriors Summer Camp combines fantasy-themed Live Action Role Playing with STEAM education to give children ages 8-18 the opportunity to become heroes in their own living stories. During their camp sessions, campers (the heroes) suit up as their own unique characters and immerse themselves in the ongoing adventures of the fantasy world known as Sidleterra. Campers complete STEAM lessons to earn strength points and magical abilities, which they'll use to battle a range of monsters and save the day. With costumed actors, interactive props and environments, and a captivating tale, your child will come home from camp an adventuring hero. Virtual summer camp options are also available to all heroes interested. The Story School also offers online classes, events, and games (going in-person soon). Our weekly schedule includes multiple D&amp;D campaigns designed to peek certain interests at certain ages, story-based fencing classes, role-playing adventures using STEM concepts and fantasy/sci-fi, as well as after school social games and STEM classes, all using our informal story-based &quot;adventuring&quot; teaching style.

Playground in the Pines Daycare

25 Forest Dr. Holland, MA

5 mi

My child care services "Playground in the Pines Daycare", were created to meet the needs of working parents and young children between birth and school-age. My home day care is not structured as a school but as a rather fun place to grow, learn & discover and to have every child feel as it's "home away from home". I am open Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:30 p.m. I try to be flexible to meet the needs of working parents. I provide a wide variety of appropriate developmental activities and experiences which foster a child's social, self esteem, self expression, social competence, emotional, intellectual and physical growth and development as well as cognitive needs and school readiness. They will also be great foundation for future learning experiences. I recognize each child as an individual, with individual needs and strengths. I offer flexibility and creativity, individual and group activities. I also recognize that although a child may spend many hours at my home daycare, many other things are happening in a child's life. I am committed to working closely with each family in order to form a meaningful partnership which will enhance each child's experience and help each child to become the best at whatever they can be, and to do the best they can do. I provide age and developmental well-balanced curriculums of specific, planned learning experiences that support the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and language development of all children. Children will learn to play and play to learn. Each day activities that are entertaining and age-appropriate will be introduced to your child/ren. Since I have a small and cohesive group, children will have plenty of attention and hands on experience. Children will have a variety of indoor/outdoor play time activities to choose from including sports, constructive play, sand and water play, movement, science and games. Each day after lunch there is a "quiet time" designated to meet the individual needs of each child. Some of the children may nap while others may be involved in coloring, a movie, or reading a book. Other activities include story time, art time, music time, drawing, dramatic play, play dough, puzzles, block/trucks which encourages exploration, experimental and discovery. These are just a few of the interests children enjoy. Educational television shows, movies and videos such as Imagination Movers and Bunny Town, will be shown but limited. Occasionally, we may have a field day trip to the beach, parks, playground, petting zoo or other fun places. I provide an abundance of toys for all age groups to choose from. I offer planned activities and crafts including cooking. Children love to be creative and imaginative! Children have open-ended playtime each day where they can explore and expand on their own special talents. Computer programs, games, educational workbooks and activities will be available. Children will be encouraged to participate in grade level, phonics, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, reading, math, etc. as well as self help skills. Homework help and research will be assisted. We also help explore and celebrate different cultures which many children are involved. Learning about how they celebrate special occasions, holidays, traditional foods they eat and clothing they wear has brought on great interest in minds of children. I have a Parent Handbook available which includes information on any questions you may have pertaining to my daycare program, rates, general info., policies as well as my background and references. To request a copy of my Parent Handbook, Enrollment Packet or to arrange an interview, please contact me..
