Under The Sun Child Care

We believe that good childcare depends upon consistent caregiving in a caring, genuine, kind atmosphere. We believe children grow and learn in a safe environment that provides opportunities to explore, create and communicate with other children and adults. These groups function independently but cooperatively, following routines appropriate to individual and developmental needs. The program is designed to be inclusive and beneficial for all children involved.

The Center s program is designed to include both planned and spontaneous activities in response to children s interests. Experiences with music, movement, art, language and building are incorporated into daily plans. Regularly scheduled snacks and meals, rest time, indoor and outdoor play, and routines in physical caregiving can promotes children s health, comfort and ability to grow. There is maximum flexibility for the children as a group and as individuals.

Children are encouraged to develop a positive self-image, to learn inner controls and to cooperate with peers and caregivers. Clearly defined limits help them recognize and accept their emotions and express their feelings as they grow and feel secure in the world around them.
