Programs

Little Kids Daycare Centers offer a wide variety of specialty programming including our "camps". Each location has Toddler, Junior, Senior, Kindergarten, Before and After School, and Nursery School programs.

Each day children will learn about social skills such as sharing and getting along with others.  Various opportunities will be provided for children to participate in creative arts, reading and story telling, dramatic play, sensory experiences, group time, science, outdoor play, music and movement, and phonics/cognitive work.

While direct communication with each parent is our preferred method of sharing information, we also provide a secondary means to inform parents of their child's progress and development.  In the Toddler room a daily log indicating the child's overall behavior, what they ate, diaper change/toilet training is posted inside the classroom.  In the Junior room a sleep/eat chart is posted on the door of the classroom.

Each month a newsletter and calendar of events is distributed to parents.  It indicates monthly themes, special events, and important reminders.  The weekly program plan is posted outside the classroom door.  The plan offers a detailed outline of each day's events/activities in the following areas:

• Creative:  This aids in the development of fine motor skills, and provides an opportunity for each child to express themselves creatively.
• Books/Story Time:  We explore the alphabet and encourage the development and interest in reading and books.
• Dramatic Play:  This provides an opportunity to role play and imitate daily experiences. 
• Sensory:  Tactile experiences by exploring various materials help the child learn about the five senses.
• Group time:  This allows an opportunity for structured group interactions teaching  social skills such as taking turns, etc.
• Science and Nature:  These activities help the child discover cause and effect and learn basic problem solving techniques.  It also provides an opportunity for children to experience the world around them.
• Jolly Phonics:  Using this program the children learn the alphabet, recognize letters and their sounds, practice printing and learning to write their name.
• Outdoor Play:  Weather permitting, the children are provided with a safe environment to develop their gross motor skills and coordination.  Implementing the use of outdoor toys and our playgrounds, walks to the local parks and other community outings to further enhance the skills we teach within the classroom setting.
