The curriculum provides intellectual activities with well-planned, teacher-directed lessons that are developmentally appropriate and interesting. Teachers pay careful attention to their students' interests, curiosity, motivation and developmental abilities. The teachers create a physical, social, emotional, and intellectual climate that supports learning in all of the developmental domains. Each student is an unique individual and teachers keep detailed records of the student's interests and skills so they can accurately facilitate each student's learning, health and safety. Teachers regard themselves as facilitators of learning, developing daily lesson plans that specify particular content and materials, but always adapting plans to the momentary needs and interests of the students. HCCLC's curriculum focus on the development of school readiness skills (e.g. social competence, early literacy, and early numeracy).

Good Day! The program that I have set up for your children is very simple I am willing to provide for children from newborn up to after school children. Your child will have a learning environment during the day if they are full-time care kids they will have different areas that I will work on with each child based on their stages of growth. After school Children: Will always have an area to do their homework as well as reading time, snack time and play time before getting picked up due to the fact that I will only have two after school children including my own son there will be a group for them to interact with. This is a family based home daycare/child care I take pride in making sure your children are just as safe as I would make my own kids.
