Balance, harmony and quality education for your child is the philosophy of Once Upon a Time Child Care Center. Providing a nurturing and safe environment is a given and is the foundation of the center. However, they expand on the traditional approach to child care and focus on creating a stimulating, interactive learning center blending basic theory and environmental curriculums with holistic, stress-relieving life skills. Children learn ABCs and 123s, as well as how to care for themselves, the world they live in and to give back to society. Staff set an example of balance, positive attitude, leadership and responsibility. Teachers and staff support parents in their role in raising their children. Children focus on developing academic skills as well as the characteristics of kindness, compassion, caring, understanding, and a respect for others. Children work on being polite, learn to acknowledge kindness, avoid competition, help others in need, share skills and talents, and celebrate the diversity of our planet. Teachers and staff strive to show children they can make a difference in the world. Children are appreciated and valued for who they are. In turn, they will develop a healthy self-esteem and learn to respect others. The environment of the Center reinforces the philosophy through an abundance of natural light, natural colors, and large, open classrooms which encourage interaction and community among children and staff. Fresh and organic food, made from scratch, keep children healthy and teach them about eating responsibly. Once Upon a Time is committed to environmental stewardship and socially responsible business practices. Whenever possible, environmentally preferable materials will be used in the building, classrooms, supplies and play areas to minimize ecological impact and in continuity with the environmental curriculum. Cloth diapers are used. Once Upon a Time follows the Creative Curriculum developed by Teaching Strategies. You can learn more about the curriculum at: www.teachingstrategies.com. Enrichment programming includes: music study, nature study, art courses, yoga practice and Spanish classes. Tours of the Center are available.
