A Place For Kids

I have preschool openings! Please phone me at (763) 428-5693 if you are interested in speaking with me. *I offer a wonderful in-home alternative to a center based preschool.

A Place for Kids provides a preschool-based readiness environment. We spend time each day building skills as we work on developmentally appropriate activities. Our curriculum is designed to boost school readiness by encompassing all areas of your child's development. This includes creative arts, alphabet and language activities, music and movement, hands-on-math and science, social activities, and games. Our guided curriculum is built around eight developmental domains; Social/Emotional, Language/Literacy, Creative Expression, Social Studies, Physical Development/Health, Science, Math, and Approaches to Learning.

Each month, your child will participate in activities that relate to two educational themes. He or she will be introduced to three letters, one color, two or three numbers, and one shape through a variety of hands-on activities. We will spend time singing, reading stories and role playing. Monthly, we will incorporate a few Spanish words as well.

At the same time, we work on developing the social skills as they play with others. We discuss such things as sharing and good manners and our feelings.

As free play is very important to growth and development, children have ample opportunity for free play and to use their imagination. We work on building physical fitness as we play both indoors and outdoors.

Stimulating creativity, and helping to build a positive self-image, our activities promote emotional, cognitive, social and physical development. Children learn by doing, and need ample opportunity to explore and grow. Preschool activities set the stage for a life-long love of learning that builds self-esteem and enthusiasm!

I provide a nurturing, safe, structured, flexible environment for children to learn and grow. I am located in Rogers, with an entire level of our home dedicated to care. Children will enjoy a spacious lovely setting, both indoors and outdoors. We have a separate dedicated cafeteria and a safe, outdoor fenced play yard!

Our summer fun activities include: Backyard Olympics Day, Bouncy House Day, Squirt it Up Day, Costume Day... :)
