Three Little Monkeys Child Care

1689 Partridge Dr. Hercules, CA

< 1 mi

Three Little Monkeys Childcare is a childcare program focused on encouraging and supporting the personal and social growth of children. Our philosophy is based on respect for the uniqueness and dignity of everyone. This approach to childcare and education allows children the freedom to experience their own creativity, explore their world, and develop their inner strengths and resources. Mutual respects and cooperation are encouraged, as well as socializing, problem solving, and of course, fun. It is our belief that children who experience this philosophy delight in their sense of independence, accomplishment, accept responsibility, respect themselves and others. These children will continue to explore and discover with confidence, enthusiasm and have solid foundation for further academic success. Our program will allow children to learn to make choices from a wide variety of creative materials within a structure environment. These activities include paint, clay, block, puzzles, and other toys. Learning curriculum where children lead themselves too imaginative and fantasy play. On our playground, climbing structures and tricycles help develop large muscles coordination. A typical day of our preschool hours include circle time, art, science and cooking projects, stories, outside play, music time, field trips, special activity guests, and kindergarten readiness for children getting ready to enter grade school.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Hercules, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Hercules, CA. 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.

You can also check your options in Hercules, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Hercules, CA, 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 Hercules, CA.
