At TwInkLe little STAR Family Child Care, we believe that children should learn through play and exploration. Our curriculum is designed to allow your child to interact with others, explore their environment, and express their feelings and ideas through a variety of activities. We believe in the importance of providing a balance between learning and play, and our staff is trained to provide an appropriate level of guidance and support to ensure that each child is able to explore in a safe and secure environment.
Our infant program is designed as a partnership between caregiver and family. We work with parents to meet the individual needs of each infant. We provide a nurturing and loving environment for the infants in our care. We encourage parents to visit or call at any time during the day. Each infants’ needs are met based on his or her unique schedule. We work closely with parents to make the transition to the infant room a comfortable and positive experience for both infant and parent.

Toddler Program Philosophy
We believe that mixed age groups allow children to learn at their own pace while providing the younger children in the group with positive role models. The older children in the group are given the opportunity to feel successful and self-confident because of their greater maturity and competence. Also this allows the younger children to be led by the older children which promotes a sense of independence among the younger group.
