| We focus on the learning that goes on in a quality early childhood program. Our belief manipulate and create. Play oriented approach to education offers children the opportunity to explore new ideas, practice making choices, feel competent and in control, interact with others and fine tune new skills. For a young child, learning something new is often the result of interaction between their thoughts and experiences, and the surrounding environment. The value of play cannot be overstated. It is through play that children develop curiosity and imagination, learning to concentrate and made confident decisions. |
| We provide a developmentally appropriate program, stressing child initiated, child-directed, adult supported play promote physical, social, emotional, creative and cognitive development. Activities are geared to the age appropriateness of the group, as well as the individual needs of each child in the group. |
| Morning Meeting, reading a story, singing a song or listening to quiet music. Or a gradual approach to rhythmic to run, jump, balance, slide, swing and feel the sun on our face. Time to grow. Time to explore, to experiment and reason,to discover. Time to play. Time to be a child. We feel that young children function best in a consistent program with small group sizes and a familiar caregiver. Warm positive relationships with adults, help children develop a sense of trust and feelings of worth. Because a child's experience at Building Blocks Preschool is a supplement to their home experience, we feel very strongly that staff and families must work together in order to provide optimal development of the children. When we are all working toward a common goal, the children's sense of security, self-confidence and individual worth can't help but blossom. A quiet time. Sometimes a brief period of whispers. Relaxation. A savoring within of good feelings. An involvement time when there is a very special closeness between child and child. And between teacher and child. A love time. A child's time. A magic time. |
| We believe in a Plan for Learning and a creative curriculum to stimulate a child’s curiosity and natural love of learning and exploring. Building Blocks provides an environment that is positive, loving, nurturing, stimulating and fun! We strive to provide the highest quality program possible for young children and their families. The giving of careful attention to details by every member of the Staff, means that your child's well being is exceptionally looked after. We welcome you to our program and hope that as a Building Blocks family, you will enjoy your experience with us, and remember it fondly for many years. |
