Green Pea Daycare, Glenwood

I wholeheartedly believe that children need to learn their ABC’s, numbers, colors, and shapes before they begin school; but I also believe they learn so much through interaction and play (structured and unstructured) than we can formally teach them. One of the biggest lessons a child can learn before starting school is how to get along with other children….and this is a lifelong skill. We follow a daily schedule, and we have daily “lessons” with an age appropriate preschool curriculum. However, it is more my goal to create the loving atmosphere your child would receive at home. We play, color, paint, sing, dance, read, dress up, play outside, stack blocks, ride cars, play in sand, cook, grow fruits and veggies, and play some more. All of these activities incorporate colors, counting, coordination, shape sorting, problem solving, and FUN! Children should be outside as much as the weather permits, and that includes lunch and snacks if possible. Activity areas are set up throughout the room. We have a television, but it is never on. We get dirty, so don’t dress them too cute (let them do that themselves with our dress up clothes!).
