About
License #252641.
I base my child care philosophy largely on Heather Shumaker's books and her childhood preschool, the School for Young Children . Ms. Shumaker takes the refreshing approach that being a young child is all about play and any learning a child needs until they reach age seven can be obtained through play.
I don't do desks. I don't do lessons. Curriculum is not a concept I believe in beyond giving children the tools they need to learn through play.
I don't believe in forced sharing. I teach instead to take long turns. If a child is playing with something, it is theirs until they decide they are finished. This allows children to not be interrupted in their learning experiences and, rather than promote how sharing is not fun and can be painful, teaches respect for others and naturally helps children learn how to be generous. I highly recommend reading both of Ms. Shumaker's books, It's OK Not to Share and It's OK to Go Up the Slide.
The House Rule: As long as it's not hurting people, animals, or property, it's OK.
