Activities

Activities and learning

Play is the work. These are the six things that fill a day here.

Two languages, all day
Songs, counting, stories and instructions happen in English and in Spanish. Nobody has to choose.
Art and making
Paint, clay, paper, glue and whatever the week brings. The work goes home, and some of it goes on the wall.
Blocks and building
Towers, ramps, roads, and the arguments that come with sharing them. Early engineering and early negotiation.
Books and early literacy
Reading before nap and reading at the end of the day, in whichever language the book is written in.
Music and movement
Dancing, clapping, rhythm instruments, and the songs children ask for over and over.
Outdoor play, every day
Morning and afternoon outside, weather permitting. Bikes, water, chalk, dirt.

Confirm which of these actually happen, and add anything missing. If a curriculum is followed by name, say which one. If school readiness is taught, say what that covers. One lead from the old site: it listed a music teacher on staff, which suggests music here is a taught session by a particular person rather than the general “dancing and rhythm instruments” written above. If that is still true, it is a real selling point and deserves its own paragraph saying who teaches it and how often.

Ages we care for

Infants
6 weeks to 18 months
Toddlers
18 months to 3 years
Preschool
3 to 5 years
School age
Before and after school

These age ranges are a guess and must not go live unconfirmed. A small family daycare home and a large one are licensed for different numbers and ages. Confirm both.

Three empty placeholders, sized for the pictures that go here: the real art corner, the real block shelf, and the real wall of the children’s work.
