If any potential parents would like the opportunity of speaking to a current parent or a parent whose child is now in elementary school, never an issue. Beginner Steps Daycare feels it is very important that the parents communicate and listen to recommendations from other parents like themselves. It is the care, communication, nutrition, and education of our children that shows importance to those parents that care where their children are throughout the day.
Some of what we do each day...
Science...Live Insect, learning, hands-on, pop- up mesh house... for caterpillars and sunflower seeds for the garden. Learning about light sources all around us and outside. Some we control and others we do not, looking at the weather and keeping track of the seasons, mixing colors in a tube to see what we create.
Growing Challenge...
Start our plants from seeds in the house and eventually moved into the ground outside beginning in April, time to order all of our seeds. We had green peppers almost through October of this year.
What we are Learning...
First Words...Even just turning one we are learning all kinds of first words, animals, their babies and sounds.
Alphabet...
This is done in several ways dependent on the child's age. To date by 18-19 months most of the children are already singing their ABC's, starting short vowel sounds before long vowel sounds, and recognizing the letter in general. Next matching the upper-case letter to the lower-case letter. We have started to add two letters per week, making the letter out of a characters' that starts with it and our many arts and crafts teach us the letter sounds. We will be wrapping up our Alphabet books to lace and take home.
Arts n' Crafts...
Ms. Debbie does arts n' crafts with every aspect of our education. You would be surprised how much easier it makes learning. And always such a surprise!
We have many surprises for our Holidays, check out the Instagram site we are always posting what we do. TAKE A LOOK AT OUR INSTAGRAM SITE TO SEE IT ALL!
"I look forward to socializing, communicating, and teaching each and every child in my care!"
