Creative Kids Daycare is a small licensed in-home daycare. Our primary goal is to support each child in a safe and loving home that builds self esteem, encourages home living skills, and actively promotes each child's sense of curiosity and discovery. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Connecticut and have taught Kindergarten, and grades 1 and 5-8. As an educator, I believe children need a safe, nurturing and inviting atmosphere to learn. Children must have their basic needs met before any learning can take place. Although many children follow a general pattern of development, each child is unique unto themselves. We must acknowledge and value the differences in our children, meet them where they are and move them forward. I believe children should be encouraged to express themselves through verbal communication, text/pictures, play, and through art. Children learn through manipulation of objects in their environment, creative play, and discovery of the world around them. Children need both independent and teamwork skills to become a well rounded person. It is through group play, role modeling and through supportive teaching that young children grow socially and emotionally. To learn more about my philosophy of teaching and my program, please contact me. When you enroll your child at Creative Kids Daycare you have entered into a partnership with me for the benefit of your child. Hour of operation: Monday - Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm with some flexibility
