Tiny Hands Tiny Feet Daycare/preschool

We have been in business since August, 2006. We have had the opportunity to expand into a center based program, which we have turned down. Our philosophy is that we want to provide a home environment where children can come to learn and prepare for Kindergarten. My helpers and I, have multiple children of our own ranging in age from 22 months up to 22 years old. Because of our experience, we are able to give the children who attend our daycare/preschool the same exposure to a structured preschool program that a center provides, but within a family environment. They will definitely be prepared for Kindergarten. According to research from Dr. Deanne Perez-Granados assistant professor at Stanford University, older siblings not only teach one another in an academic sense they also teach each other conflict resolution, how to share, negotiation skills, vocabulary, acquisition of facts, artistic development, increase in self-esteem and so much more. Squabbling itself, has some learning value as children learn to work through conflict and their natural desire for instant gratification and how to get what they want. We do not only support that the children resolve their conflicts, but that we as adults are able to work through our differences together and speak cordially in order to come to an agreement for the benefit of the child. As the younger children learn from the older ones the older ones are also learning from the younger ones as well, patience is a virtue. This all prepares them for real life. As adults, we all know how challenging it can be.

Our Philosophy:

We are a Family Child Care Home with a license to accommodate up to 14 children.

Our days of operation are Monday-Friday. Our hours of operation are from 6 am to 6 pm, but we do accept children earlier then 6 am and later than 6 pm, on an as needed basis. The ages we serve are from 6 weeks up to 10 years old. We have a structured schedule for the children that we follow. We provide preschool to children 2 years and up and for the younger ones we provide a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities.

Our philosophy at Tiny Hands Tiny Feet Daycare/Preschool is to support parents in their need for a safe and nurturing place for their children. Above and beyond that are main focuses are on teaching the children about good manners, good hygiene, helping each child develop their fullest potential, teaching them about caring, feelings, sharing. We provide a Pre-K program the year before they go to Kindergarten. At the same time that we are teaching them how to become self-sufficient in different ways we are also insuring that they are on the path to success in their education.

We love teaching children and when they accomplish something they weren't able to do before it is a day for celebrating.
