At Bella Bee, our motto says it all. We believe in a balanced approach to learning and play, where students not only play to learn, but also learn how to learn. Learning Our primary focus is ensuring that our students are Kindergarten-ready. We achieve this in part with our “Letter Program” which systematically builds letter-recognition skills and expands vocabulary through stories and pictures. Our research-based and educationally sound methods help children improve fine motor skills, gain enhanced self-esteem and develop an interest in reading and writing. Play Of course, children do a great deal of learning when they play, and this aspect of a child’s growth is equally nurtured at Bella Bee. We focus on the social and emotional development of each child with an emphasis on learning to foster healthy friendships and relationships. Balance Our caring and experienced staff is dedicated to the development of the whole child. Through a variety of creative, academic and social activities, they will ensure your child leaves our program ready to succeed in Kindergarten and beyond. Above all, we cultivate a family atmosphere where kids can be themselves as they grow and learn. We invite you to visit us in person to learn more about what makes Bella Bee special: “Learning and Play…In Balance.”

Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a State Certified Home Daycare provider who provide childcare in my home. I am a 3 Star Rated Program through Step Up to Quality and Cincinnati Preschool Promise certified! I have been in the child care field for about 12 years now. I have an Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from Cincinnati State Technical Community College. I graduated with my Associates in 2007. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I attend monthly training through the child development program in Hamilton County to keep up with updated information regarding child care. I provide an outstanding, safe environment for all children in my care. I am very big on education and child safety. While the children are in my care, we go over age appropriate learning materials such as My Baby can Read, shapes, colors, alphabets, counting, name writing and activities sheets. We also do sensory, fine and gross motor activities, math and science. I like to promote the Ages and Stages of all children. I don't consider myself as a Home Provider, I like to consider myself a Home Educator because we are consistently learning new things. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Cadence Academy Preschool in Fort Thomas is a licensed, full-service, premium early childhood education facility focusing on the success of each child. Our goal is to provide a warm, secure, loving, and nurturing environment for all babies while in our care. Daily activities are designed specifically to meet your baby’s needs and abilities. Routine caregiving activities, such as feeding and diapering, are used as opportunities for language interactions and for nurturing a one-on-one relationship with the teacher. Our curriculum is based primarily on play. As infants play with toys, observe the world around them, listen to sounds, and interact with caring adults, they are learning. The development of play skills can be significantly enhanced by the quality of the teachers’ interactions and the availability of play materials. Infants learn through spontaneous play in which they build an understanding of the world on their terms. *We are now offering Flexipass. With Flexi-Pass, families can purchase 5 full days of prepaid care to use one at a time or all at once. There are no registration fees, no ongoing tuition, and no long-term commitment — just trusted care at a lower per-day cost.*

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Dayton, KY

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Dayton, KY. 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 Dayton, KY for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Dayton, KY, 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 Dayton, KY.

When looking for a preschool near you in Dayton, KY 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.
