Emphasizing Developmentally Appropriate Practices

Our approach to early childhood education is centered on developmentally appropriate practices. This means that our activities and curriculum are tailored to meet the developmental stages of the children in our care. We understand that children develop at their own pace, and we are committed to providing experiences that match their needs.

The Importance of Early Learning in Every Child’s Life

Early learning is the foundation upon which future academic and life successes are built. Our childcare center places a strong emphasis on creating an environment where early learning is encouraged and celebrated. Through a variety of hands-on activities and interactive learning experiences, children learn to explore, discover, and make sense of the world around them. We believe that to best support children in their school careers, early learning should be engaging and fun, fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

Here are the key activities and programs we offer:

• Arts
• Fitness
• Challenge Program
• Phonemic Awareness

Play-Based Learning: A Cornerstone of Our Philosophy

One of the key elements of our childcare center’s philosophy is play-based learning. A child’s primary mode of learning is through using their imaginations and interacting with their peers. Through play-based learning, children develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and social-emotional intelligence. Our play-based curriculum enables children to take charge of their own learning, allowing them to pursue their interests and passions in a supportive environment.

Supporting the Whole Child

At Right Steps® Education, we believe in supporting the whole child. This means that our programs nurture all aspects of a child’s development, including their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth. We understand that each child has unique needs and strengths, and we strive to create a balanced and holistic approach.

Creating a Nurturing Environment

The environment at our childcare center is carefully crafted to be warm, welcoming, and conducive to learning. We understand that children need a safe and nurturing space to explore and grow. Our classrooms are inviting and stimulating, with a variety of materials and resources that encourage exploration and creativity. We believe that a nurturing environment is essential for enabling children to reach their full potential.

Building Strong Relationships

Strong relationships are at the heart of our childcare center’s philosophy. We believe that children learn best when they feel secure and valued. Our educators are dedicated to building positive and trusting relationships with each child, creating a sense of belonging and community. By fostering strong relationships, we create a supportive network that helps children feel confident and ready to learn.

Engaging Families in the Learning Process

We recognize that families play a critical role in a child’s education and development. Our childcare center values the partnership between educators and families, and we strive to engage families in the learning process. By maintaining open lines of communication and encouraging family involvement, we create a collaborative environment where children can thrive. We believe that when families and educators work together, children benefit from a consistent and supportive approach to their development.

Encouraging Individuality and Creativity

At Right Steps® Education, we celebrate the individuality and creativity of each child. We believe every child has unique talents and perspectives, and our programs are designed to nurture and celebrate these differences. By providing opportunities for self-expression and creative exploration, we help children develop a strong sense of self and confidence in their abilities.
