PREKINDERGARTEN: This program is designed for children who have completed the Letter of the Week preschool curriculum or equivalent. This program is the next step to reading! During the year, your child will learn many new sounds that will help develop reading skills. This program covers language arts, math (addition and subtraction), social studies, science and other subjects to create a complete pre-kindergarten program. Weekly themes will take the children through a complete year of the "Sound of the Week" curriculum, beginning with the /ck/ sound and ending with the /sc/ sound. Field trips are scheduled each quarter of the school year, relating to the season or theme of that period of time. SCHOOL AGE YEAR ROUND PROGRAM: This classroom is a recreational after school and off track program for our 5 - 10 year old children. When you need a safe, structured and fun place for your school age children to be, Acres of Learning is the place. Upon arriving after school each day, a quiet homework time allows you peace of mind that in our supervised environment, homework requirements will be met. Upon completion of homework, your school age child can participate in a variety of fun and relaxing activities after a long day spent at school. Board games, art/craft activities and teacher directed group games will keep their minds and bodies busy inside, and a half acre of outdoor play area keeps them moving until it's time to go home.

Thanks so much for inquiring in our school here at Sheldon Acres Child Development and Swim Center located off of Grant-line and Pleasant Grove School Road! A little about us; We have been operating since 1985 and we boast a veteran staff of teachers, some being with the school for over 20 years. Our Pre School & Kindergarten Readiness Programs are designed for ages 2-5 yrs. We also provide before & after school care for grades TK- 6th, and we are located on 2.5 acres of land. What separates our school from others is our classroom culture and academic rotations. Scientific studies show that preschoolers' minds are optimally stimulated in 30-minute intervals. Based on this re-search, we designed our classroom rotation program to fit your child's natural inclinations and to help stimulate their pliable minds. On a typical day at Sheldon Acres, your child will start off in his/her primary classroom with his/her primary team of teachers. Throughout the day, your child will rotate to multiple enrichment classrooms, each with its own course-specific teacher. Each of our four different enrichment classrooms consists of Arts and Crafts, Math & STEM, Language Arts (English, Spanish, and Sign Language), Dramatic Play and Music & Movement. Looking forward to scheduling a tour with you soon!

Hello, my name is Crystal and I have been a daycare provider for the past ten years now. I love working with children and being such a big impact on their lives. I am married to my wonderful husband, and we have four boys of our own, ages 21,15, 10, and 3. I have seven children in my care (including my sons), most of whom I have had since babies. I have ages 4, 3, 2 and 4 under 1. I teach preschool curriculum and we do lots of fun learning activities. Curriculum is based on age. We do it all from learning ABC's, shapes, colors, animals and sounds, sight words, letter and word phonics, numbers and learning to write. We do Spanish, and many fun games daily. We read so many books, puppet shows, sing and dance along with the music, learn nursery rhymes, paint and do crafts. We are in a great neighborhood, with a park that the children enjoy going to just right across the street. In preparation for school, we do a lot of fundamental and craft activities on a daily basis, along with pre-schooling, getting children on the path for school readiness! The children are already writing their names and learning how to read and write. With our preschool program, we also have an infant program for babies, good teacher child ratio so each infant/child is well taken care of and they each receive lots of one on one attention. We do lots of water play outside during summer as well, with sprinklers and water toys as well as those fun water spray parks! I am a member of beanstalk, a food program that helps with great menu ideas as well as monthly home visits to insure I meet the guidelines for healthy eating. Which I only serve healthy meals and snacks, and home made food menus as well. I never served any type of junk food as that is up to the parents if they permit that food and only at home.
" The name of the daycare is "Bright Beginnings Daycare and Preschool". This is the second daycare that I am running; I previously ran a daycare in the Bay Area. I have experience as a preschool teacher from "Merryhill", "Child Time", and "The Children's Preschool Center". Our facility is licensed by the State of California. We provide free nutritional meals, free tutoring, transportation to nearby schools, fun indoor and outdoor activities. Your children are important to us and we believe that a daycare should be a home style environment. At Bright Beginnings Daycare, we are committed to providing educational programs and services to infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers and to school-aged children. We believe that children develop and learn best through experiences and interactions that they encounter as they explore their environment. In order to promote the growth of social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, the environment, toys, activities and play spaces are created, constructed and implemented using the principles of developmentally appropriate practices. Another component is that the children should always be treated and cared for with the patience, encouragement and the respect that they deserve. The "Bright Beginnings Daycare" will ensure that our environment is safe and uses a hands-on curriculum for all the children. We provide a fun environment that your child will enjoy. The children will have material available to them to learn at their own rate and learning style. Projects and crafts will be age and developmentally appropriate. We believe that the philosophy and programs enrich the knowledge and values of children to learn from their surroundings, given the opportunity to build upon the cognitive, social, emotional and physical development through experiences in academics with the guidance from the teacher's hands-on experiences and play. We respect and acknowledge each child's abilities and unique personality and provide support according to each child's needs. Children will achieve confidence, problem-solving skills and will be able to interact with our diverse community. MISSION STATEMENT: "We will provide a warm and safe environment where children can learn, grow and have fun.
