Why We're Here!
At Southminster Child Care Center, we seek to provide a physically safe and emotionally secure setting where children can explore and experiment with a variety of materials and experiences in a supportive and confidence-building atmosphere. This environment promotes and helps to develop the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth of each child. We believe that each child is a unique individual with a variety of interests, needs, and abilities. Through developmentally appropriate daily activities, each child will learn his/her self-worth, while also learning the importance of respecting and helping others, sharing, making friends, resolving conflicts, solving problems, and developing a lifetime love of creative living and learning. Southminster Child Care Center is committed to:
- Providing predictable routines and secure relationships.
- Building a partnership emphasizing communications among the child, the family and the teachers.
- Quality directorship and staffing.
- Planning activities designed to promote each child's independence, autonomy and self-discipline.
- Creating opportunities for sharing, making friends, solving problems, accepting others and cooperating.
- Offering a program designed to recognize the uniqueness of each child and to provide positive encouragements for the child's continued growth.
- Giving the child opportunities to learn by doing, moving from hands-on experiences to more abstract concept development.
- Teaching skills for a lifetime of creative living and learning.
