Choosing to enroll your child in a preschool program is a significant step in your child's developmental process. As the Director of Shining Stars, I strive to create a positive, nurturing, educational environment for your child to succeed. I firmly believe that if your child feels happy, respected, and safe, he/she will strive to learn and strive to excel. Each child is unique and each will learn at his/her own pace. At Shining Stars, your child's various interests, learning styles, and abilities are recognized and developed. Classroom activities are designed to promote aspects of individual child growth and development. Identification and recognition of your child's needs are keys to his/her success. At Shining Stars, we work closely with the families enrolled to ensure every child has a rewarding, positive, and fun preschool experience. 2 Day Program Our two day program places an emphasis on socialization, play, sharing, and conflict resolution. The children are encouraged to express their feelings in positive ways and to follow reasonable school rules. Each child is treated as an individual and expectations vary according to the age specific skills they have mastered. The activities and experiences presented promote cognitive, social, and emotional growth. 3 Day Program In addition to building on the skills mentioned above, our three day program provides an abundance of academic learning activities. The children participate in a variety of age-appropriate skill building exercises. The Learning Centers are designed to promote peer cooperation, Kindergarten readiness and strengthen self-esteem. 5 Day Program Our five day program allows the child to learn in a consistent structured environment. Age-appropriate activities are presented and implemented to encourage growth socially, emotionally, and academically. The daily routines include activities from all areas of learning: art, dramatic play, literacy, math, music, science, and writing. Extended Day Program Our extended day program is an extension of our morning routines and learning. A strong emphasis is placed on daily self-help activities, developing individual responsibility and becoming confident members in a large, social group environment. The longer day prepares the student to adapt to the full-time Kindergarten schedule.

Tir Na Nog Childcare is inspired by the enchanting Irish folklore of “The Land of the Young,” a mythical place where happiness, youthfulness, and endless joy thrive. In this magical land, no one ever grows old, and beauty and wonder are boundless. At Tir Na Nog Childcare, we are dedicated to creating a true home-away-from-home for every child. Our warm, nurturing environment is designed to ensure that each child feels comfortable and loved while in our care. We focus on building strong, caring relationships and providing a familiar, supportive space where children can relax, explore, and grow with confidence, knowing they are valued and cared for just like they would be at home. Since 2003, Tir Na Nog Childcare has been a trusted foundation of care and education in our community. After 19 wonderful years at our original location, we embarked on a new chapter in August 2022, moving into a fresh space while preserving the same comforting, home-like atmosphere that our families cherish. At our center, we embrace the Reggio Emilia approach, focusing on creating a classroom environment where children can lead their learning journey. This open-ended curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and exploration, allowing each child to shape their experiences and discover the world around them in a meaningful way. The classroom becomes a space that adapts to the children’s interests, fostering a sense of ownership and joy in learning. We have 6 thoughtfully designed classrooms that use neutral tones to allow each child’s creativity to bring color and life to the environment. At Tir Na Nog, our mission is to ensure every child feels safe, loved, and nurtured. Helping children grow and develop in all areas of life is our passion and purpose. We follow the Massachusetts state guidelines for classifying age groups to ensure that each child receives care and education tailored to their developmental stage: Infants: 8 weeks to 15 months old Toddlers: 15 months to 2.9 years old Preschool/Pre-K: 2.9 years to 6 years old Each group benefits from a curriculum that nurtures growth and development in a safe and supportive environment. We invite you to join our vibrant community, where every child’s journey is celebrated and their potential is realized!

The purpose of Upton’s Little Saints Christian Preschool is a sound academic education within a warm, caring family environment. Our emphasis is on providing a basic Christian philosophy of love as an approach to life. We live in an economy that forces an increasing number of parents to seek child-care facilities for their children. At Little Saints, every child will be in a nurturing, academic, family environment to foster a life-long love of learning. Our teachers focus on preparing each of our students for Kindergarten and beyond. . . Kindergarten is not what it used to be. The expectations for children entering Kindergarten are also not what they used to be. Years ago, children would go to Kindergarten to learn their letters and numbers. Now they start addition, subtraction, and expect children to already be able to write their names and recognize sounds. School districts also expect children to be past the separation anxiety many children experience being away from their parents, be able to sit and focus on a lesson, complete tasks that are given to them without getting distracted and have the social and emotional development to be in a room with 30 other children their age. As you can see there are high expectations for incoming Kindergarteners. This is where Little Saints can help. We use a research-based approach that is individually tailored to each child to help them reach their full potential and prepare them for their educational future.

I provide learning through play and also through a curriculum I've created to teach them in various focus areas such as colors, letters, and math.

ECDC is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation. It is a nonsectarian organization open to all eligible children and families regardless of race, religion, cultural heritage, national origin, political beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation or disabilities. Toilet Training status is not an eligibility requirement. Its goals are to offer the highest quality early childhood education for children ages two years and nine months through five years and to offer parents information and support on early child development and education. Philosophy ECDC has always believed that each child should be treated as an individual and has the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace with our low teacher/child ratios. The classroom environment promotes our philosophy that children learn through play with many independent choices available through the day. We have many self-directed activities as well as large and small group activities. We believe that the process of learning is more important than the product. Children are encouraged and supported by our trained staff as they play and learn. Having our graduates well prepared for kindergarten is an important goal at ECDC. Goals and Objectives Our classes are child-centered with activities designed to meet each child's developmental needs. The goal of ECDC is to foster social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth in a nurturing and secure environment. Our program has three different cornerstones: * Learn Through Play: We believe that all preschool children learn best through play. Each child is treated as an individual and has the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace. Our classroom environment reflects this philosophy with many independent choices available through the day. At ECDC, the process of learning is more important than the product. * Parent Involvement: The most effective education results from a partnership between parents and teachers. For this reason, ECDC was established in 1977 in Sherborn as a parent cooperative. Parents spend time in the classroom interacting with their child and the teachers. The minimum time requirement is quite modest, between 4 and 7 times per year in the classroom as your child's &quot;guest.&quot; There are additional opportunities for parents who are interested, and additional involvement is welcomed. * Qualified and Committed Staff: Qualified, committed, caring and enthusiastic teachers are the cornerstone of an effective early education program.

Weekdays we can only work afternoons, but weekends we will be available mostly all day. We work sufficiently and have taken a babysitting care class on the American Red Cross website.
