Child care
Kid's Haven believes that all children learn through active exploration of their environment and therefore the environment plays a critical role in learning. The goal of Kid's Haven is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners by actively exploring their environment. We believe Learning isn't just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. We create an environment for children to explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking). We identify goals in all areas of development: Social/Emotional, Cognitive, Physical and Language. The planned activities for the children, the organization of the environment, the selection of toys and materials, planning the daily schedule and interacting with the children, are all designed to accomplish the goals and objectives of the curriculum and give your child a successful foundation to build his/her education on.

Quality Care in my home for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. With over 20 years of experience caring for children as a babysitter, preschool aid, Infant and Toddler program Coordinator, Lead Teacher and Nanny; I bring all of my knowledge and training to the small family style setting of my home daycare. Care and attention is given to each child and their needs on an ever changing basis. I believe in learning through play and discovery, and that the best early education environment fosters creativity and whole body learning. I serve healthy and balanced meals, using organic and fresh foods and am willing to cater to dietary needs and restrictions. Getting outside as often as possible and out into the world on field trips as often as seasons allow is an important part of healthy growing and learning. I strive to serve each family and their unique needs as best as possible and share my love and enthusiasm for what I do with you.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Buffalo, MN

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Buffalo, MN. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Buffalo, MN for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Buffalo, MN, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Buffalo, MN.

When looking for a preschool near you in Buffalo, MN on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
