I have been in daycare for 3 yrs and am currently working on my CDA. I have 2 of my own children under the age of 18 who attend private school here in Grand Rapids. Education is very important to me as a parent and I have witnessed the affects of a great education. My goal is to get young children headed in the right direction as early as possible.
Our teachers are hired in compliance with the state requirements and qualifications as a base minimum. All staff will pass a criminal history records check and have current CPR & First Aid certification. All will participate in orientation and ongoing training in the areas of child growth and development, healthy and safe environments, developmentally appropriate practices, guidance, family relationships, cultural and individual diversity, and professionalism.
Our curriculum is themed/play‐based and developmentally appropriate. We began teaching infants by exposing them to books, playing games with them, and helping them reach first‐year milestones.
We prepare our toddlers for pre‐school by introducing them to the Pre‐K curriculum. Toddlers enjoy a daily group‐time which focuses on reading stories and learning colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.
