37 Morgan Park Clinton, CT

< 1 mi

Whole Hearted Early Learning Center (WHELC) is a licensed play-based and community focused at home center located in Clinton. WHELC emphasizes the importance of viewing each child as an individual. We serve families with children between the ages of 2.9-4 years old. The Head Teacher for our PreK program has over 7 years experience teaching within PreK and Kindergarten. She holds a Masters in Early Childhood Education and has a passion for working with children. Her dedication to her family and to the field of early childhood education are what brought her out of the public school setting and into our PreK program here at WHELC. We practice a hybrid of approaches to teaching and follow the Opening the World of Learning (OWL) curriculum along with the CT ELDS. We focus on all areas of development and believe that children learn best through hands-on experiences. We are mindful of each student's needs and interests, so you may see a little Reggio Emilia, a dash of Montessori, and a sprinkle of High Scope topped with Waldorf within our PreK work and environment.

We are centrally located in Killingworth, very close to the traffic circle. This allows for easy access to Route 9 and Interstate 95 . A little about me, Diane.. I have lived in Killingworth all my life except for a short time where I lived in Guilford CT. I graduated from Haddam-Killingworth High School. After graduation I went to work for The Clinipad Corporation in Guilford CT. Where in my 16 years of employment with them I held many positions in Production, Quality Assurance and ending up with 8 years in Upper Management. When the corporation relocated to Charlotte N.C. I decided to pursue my aspiration to care for children. I opened my home to children as a licensed day care provider in March of 1998. In 1999 I earned a Diploma in Child Day Care Management. I also maintain certification in C.P.R., Medication Administration and First Aid. In addition to the above, I belong to our regional child day care association, and attend continuous classes and trainings to better the quality of care in my home. I am also a Justice of the Peace. In 2005 I earned National Certification in EKG and Phlebotomy. My mother Eleanor Sanderson ( AKA - Grandma ) also lives with us and she is a State approved day care Assistant / Substitute. We look forward to hearing from you.. Sincerely, Diane

The Nest Home Day Care is a safe, nurturing, and encouraging atmosphere for children 6 weeks through 5 years old. My goal is to provide a stimulating and fun environment for children while encouraging social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. Your child will receive quality personal and individualized care in a warm and loving environment. At The Nest, I believe that children learn best through play and exploration. Whether it is investigating the dirt box outside, playing fun games indoors, or spending time exploring books all on their own, I will help to facilitate activities that children enjoy. Special seasonal activities will also be a regular part of time spent at The Nest, including summer days playing in the sprinkler or plenty of fun in the snow in the winter! I believe in positive reinforcement and redirection when children are testing the limits and learning the rules. I will provide a structured environment that is flexible enough to respect the child and their individuality while at the same time providing routine that children need to learn and flourish. And above all else, I believe that it is most important to treat children with love and respect.
