Gardening & Exploring With Children

Philosophy:
Our Family Home Daycare, Gardening and Exploring with Children, are committed to providing a health and safety environment with children and meeting their own individual needs. We give good quality care and respect each child's individuality. We also provide community resources for families.
Teacher's Role:
Teacher will provide food and nutrition to the children, toothbrushes and toothpaste for each child, and a safe environment. Teacher will provide activities for children to engage using play materials. During small group, there will be hands on activities with art, puzzle play, role play activities, gardening, bird feeding, and much more.
Child's Role:
The child's role is to learn and explore through play. Children are capable of learning and experimenting their own objects as a part of their own particular interests and understanding. They are given a variety of choices of their own interests. Many activities that children follow the lead of the child and allow them to expand on their learning and interests.
Curriculum:
In our Family Home Daycare, Gardening and Exploring, children will explore using their seven senses for their own developmental needs. They will be learning nature as a part of science, math, biology, and children will learn language development. They will be planting seeds, and watch them grow as part of their sensory development. I will be using the Reggio Emilia Approach as part of our curriculum.
Experience:
I have twenty-five years working with children. I worked at MAAC Head Start and Early Head Start.
