Hello parents/guardians! I was just in your shoes this time last year, searching on care.com for a nurturing environment that has the structure of a childcare center, but the flexibility, personal touch, small numbers, and price of an at-home daycare, and boy are they hard to find! And so, that's exactly what I plan to provide for you and your little loved one, if you feel that we would be a good fit. My name is Jessica (Jes) Schwandt, and I am a former teacher with a 19 month old son of my own. I taught 5th grade for 7 years at Ross Elementary School, but prior to my teaching experience, the majority of my college experience and placements were in Early Childhood (ages 1-5). I also have babysitting experience that dates back to middle school! I would love to help you with your childcare needs for this school year! I'm only looking to take on 2 more children, since I will have my own son (all 5 days), and my best friend's son 3 days a week. No preference for age, except that I will only watch 1 newborn at any given time. I would prefer full-time inquiries, but let me know if you need care for only a few days a week, as I may still be able to make that work! I'm in the process of getting CPR and First Aid certified, and already have all of my updated clearances from being a teacher. I look forward to hearing from you and chatting about more details! Located in Lancaster. Convenient location; close to Rt. 30

Uni-Vision, where we believe in One Vision - that all children given the right tools, education and drive have a chance to succeed. For this reason I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, loving, high quality, educational environment that maximizes intellectual, physical and emotional growth and development in our young students. Our mission, which distinguishes us from other high-quality preschool and daycare centers, is to foster the acquisition and development of a foreign language as important as Spanish. We believe the gift of language is an investment that lasts a lifetime! Uni-Vision Childcare is Lancaster County's first Spanish Immersion childcare center. We are a state recognized learning center, offering the only Spanish based early childhood curriculum in our area. This is a truly new and innovative concept in childcare with a specially designed curriculum that focuses on the bilingual language development in our young students. The fastest and most effective way to achieve fluency in a language is through immersion. At Uni-Vision, our students are immersed in a full Spanish class, meaning that teaching and interaction is conducted entirely in Spanish. This provides an environment where no translation and no memorization are needed, just seamless acquisition of a second language. Our program offers students the ability to become bilingual at a very young age. Exposure to a second language should begin as early as possible. The chances of achieving full fluency in another language are much higher if study is begun in the first five years of life, since the human brain is wired to learn language during this critical period. Our students will be able to speak and understand both English and Spanish. Our students learn every day and applicable themes (daily interactions, colors, numbers, shapes, routines, commands etc.). At Uni-Vision, we have multi-age groups, which means that children of different ages may be in the same classroom or may spend time together during the day. A multi-age grouping provides a more family-like setting for children. It allows children to learn from each other, enables teachers to gear their expectations to a child's individual development rather than age and increases the likelihood that a child will have someone to interact with at their developmental level.

Our mission is to, first and foremost, provide a safe, nurturing, loving, high quality, educational environment that maximizes intellectual, physical and emotional growth and development in our young students. Our second most important mission, which distinguishes us from other high-quality preschool and daycare centers, is to foster the acquisition and development of a foreign language as important as Spanish. We believe the gift of language is an investment that lasts a lifetime! This is a truly new and innovative concept in childcare with a specially designed curriculum that focuses on the bilingual language development in our young students. The fastest and most effective way to achieve fluency in a language is through immersion. At Uni-Vision, our students are immersed in a full Spanish class, meaning that teaching and interaction is conducted entirely in Spanish. This provides an environment where no translation and no memorization are needed, just seamless acquisition of a second language. Through the duration of it, our students learn every day and applicable themes (daily interactions, colors, numbers, shapes, routines, commands etc.). Our program offers students the ability to become bilingual at a very young age. Exposure to a second language should begin as early as possible. The chances of achieving full fluency in another language are much higher if study is begun in the first five years of life, since the human brain is wired to learn language during this critical period. Our students will be able to speak and understand both English and Spanish. Unlike learning a language later in life, young children typically do not feel inhibited or scared to speak a new language. Research shows that learning a second language enhances intellectual development and improves overall school performance. It also shows that bilingual students gain additional academic, cognitive and employment benefits later in life. Spanish is the most useful language to know in the United States in the 21st Century. Students will become accustomed to hearing the Spanish language through sensory-rich activities, movement, music, play and a strong literature component.

The Owl Hill Learning Centers strive to enhance each child's early care and educational experience by providing an enriching environment in which to grow and learn and successfully complete the rest of his/her education.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Lancaster, PA

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

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Lancaster, PA, 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 Lancaster, PA.
