Laurie's Home Daycare

35671 Saxony Drive Sterling Heights, MI

< 1 mi

Hello, my name is Laurie and I have been running my home daycare for 16 years now. I love my job, working, playing and teaching little ones makes me feel very happy at the end of each day. I have stayed with my families from birth to Kindergarten. It is always bittersweet when they leave our home for school. But I also feel very proud to send them off ready to take on their next adventure! I am licensed with the state, Certified in CPR, First Aid and I do many hours of ongoing education in early childhood development each year. I have two teenage kids (16 years old &amp; 18 years old) and they are also a big part of our day. (Truth be told, the kids squeal with excitement when my kids walk in after school each day!!) Call to see if my home is right for your child!

Hi parents! I am a 34-year-old mother, a college graduate, and former EMT for a well-known ambulance company in the area. I also am a licensed Firefighter with the state of Michigan! With extra emphasis put on safety, your child will learn what I learned about fire safety through age appropriate stories and drills. Your child will be Fire Chief for the week and lead our fire drills, and also learn about 911, strangers, what the police officers do and much more, mixed right into our reading and writing lessons! Your child will learn self-confidence, how to socialize with other children and be very excited to lead the fire drills in your own home! Also, our exercise time will keep your little one in tip-top shape. Well-balanced eating is promoted during our breakfast, snack, lunch and late snack time. If you're looking for a daycare with exciting lessons, games and projects to find your child's interest and talent, you've found the place! Reading, writing, art, games and puzzles are done daily, while slowly increasing the difficulty level to prepare them for preschool or kindergarten. My home is clean, organized, pet free, smoke free and welcoming. I absolutely love kids and would be honored to provide yours with a safe and loving environment while you work hard for them. Let me help prepare your child for their next adventure by allowing them to hike through their early years together with us at Carol's Kid Camp! Please contact me at your earliest convenience; I would love to discuss my daycare options with you! I will be receiving my state in-home daycare license soon and would like to save a spot for your little one in advance. My little hikers can begin arriving on July 15th!

Utica Community Schools Early Childhood Programs

38901 Dodge Park Road Sterling Heights, MI

Nursery &amp; Preschool Three and four year old children are welcomed into inviting classrooms by experienced, caring teachers. The classroom environment provides learning opportunities throughout the day. Children interact with each other and teachers during free choice, small and large group activities. Literacy and math skills are introduced and practiced in all activity areas including art, music, housekeeping, story time and block play. Teachers use the Creative Curriculum and Michigan Department of Education Standards to guide their observations, assessments and planning. Montessori Preschool &amp; Kindergarten Maria Montessori s timeless philosophy guides children s learning in a nurturing environment. Children learn by manipulating materials, which develop meaningful practical skills and academic knowledge. Creativity, respect, reasonable behavior, self-discipline, and self-motivation are encouraged. Classes are multi-age. It is important to note that participation in this program does not guarantee future placement at Messmore Elementary School. Full Day Preschool Full Day Preschool is available (ages three to five years old) at three locations in the school district. Teachers plan activities and prepare an environment designed to gradually prepare young children for the more formal school years ahead. Our Full Day Preschool staff works closely with parents and their child to establish and maintain cooperative relationships. Prior to enrollment, visits are required in order to help the staffs and families get to know each other. While children attend, ongoing communication with parents continues. Teachers are qualified according to the State of Michigan standards. The Creative Curriculum is followed at all locations. Great Start Readiness Program The GSRP is Michigan s state-funded preschool program for children with factors which may place them at risk of educational failure. The program is administered by the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Great Start. Research on preschool programs and specific research on GSRP indicates that children provided with a high-quality preschool experience show significant positive developmental differences when compared to children from the same backgrounds who did not attend a high-quality preschool program. Parent &amp; Toddler Classes Come Play With Me is a parent and toddler program that meets once a week. The class offers opportunities for child and parent to learn and grow together.

The Community House’s Early Childhood Center is excited to announce we still have a few spots available for our Fall preschool program. With the use of the nationally recognized Highscope curriculum our amazing teachers are ready to set the foundation of your child’s academic success. Our curriculum uses a whole-child approach to learning, where the child is encouraged to make a plan and execute their plan through hands on classroom exploration. Our program encourages independence, decision-making, and conflict resolution and students graduate from The Community House ECC ready for kindergarten with confidence and the ability to creatively problem solve. New to the ECC this Fall is our Community Scholars program exclusively available to children enrolled in our school. The Community Scholars programs give children the opportunity to grow even further than in the traditional classroom setting! Parents are able to support their child’s individual needs and interests with additional focus on Phonics, STEM, Music, Yoga, cooking etc. all while they attend their normal school day. Additionally, the Early Childhood Center has created a new program to help fill an educational need in our community. Our Junior K+ program will enrich and challenge young five’s students that have completed Pre-K but are too young to start Kindergarten. Junior K+ stops the regression of repeating a second year in a program by providing and exclusive environment with enhanced focus on phonetic awareness and sound blending, developing sentence building, independence and self-help skill sets, science exploration, and critical thinking skills. Reach out to secure your enrollment before spaces are filled for the Fall.

Kate's Kiddos Daycare

22430 Lakeland Street Saint Clair Shores, MI

10 mi

At Kate's Kiddos Daycare we align our curriculum to the Early Childhood Standards of Quality provided by the Michigan Department of Education. Young learners are natural, enthusiastic learners. Their impulse to ask questions, to investigate, and to explore, examine, and experiment, comes from a burning curiosity about the world and a desire to understand things. We work everyday to install a love for learning through discovery, discourse, and, most importantly, play! We do this through Discovery Centers, Music and Movement, and Sensory Play. I graduated with my BA in Elementary Education with a major in Literature Arts with coursework in Early Childhood Education. I taught grades k-6 in S. Korea, substitute taught grades k-12 in MI, and taught first grade gifted students in AZ. I LOVE children and teaching, however, after becoming a first time mommy I needed to walk away from my career in education to focus on my son. Now that my son is older, I want to return to my passion of educating and caring for children. I enjoy teaching my son through sensory play and discovery of the world around him. I know that I can provide this same care for another family in need! I'm so blessed to be a stay-at-home mom, but I'm still a teacher at heart and want to provide my expertise in child development and learning to a family, while providing child care!

We provide high quality instruction, and care for every student who comes into our classroom. We intentionally plan, and organize the classroom so students have the opportunity to develop in the areas of social/emotional, language, literacy, math, science, creative arts, fine motor, and gross motor. Learning Bug Preschool implements a theme based curriculum. It is designed to facilitate learning through hands-on-activities; both teacher-led and student-led. We offer lessons and activities in the areas of language and literacy, math, science, creative arts, gross motor, fine motor, and social skills (character education). It is based on current research state and national standards, common core, and aligned with the kindergarten curriculum.
