Through intentional planning on the part of our coordinators and educators, based upon observations of each child, knowledge of child development, and collaboration with families, we will support your family child-care educator in having fun learning activities for your children. These activities are linked to the Massachusetts Educational Guidelines and that focus on literacy, math, science, social studies, creative arts and crafts, music and movement, health and safety, multicultural awareness and technology. Based upon theories of play, engagement, and child development, our learning activities promote optimal physical, emotional, cognitive and social-emotional development while teaching respect for oneself and others and building positive self-esteem.
