Ms. Amanda's Neighborschool

At Miles of Smiles Childcare, we are always focused on learning, but in ways that are fun and engaging. I think everyone-children and adults-learns best when they're having fun. Even when we are doing something ordinary, I'll sing a song about it; the kids think it's so funny, and it really keeps their attention.


Throughout the day, we review the alphabet and other lessons, dance and sing songs, create arts and crafts, and read and tell stories. I always incorporate lots of sensory play into our days. In the backyard, I fill buckets with water and place toys inside, so kids can explore the different textures and really let their imaginations run wild. I also make boxes with sand or shredded paper and bury objects inside. Sometimes you can create the best toys out of the simplest items!
