QUALITY CARE

My views on high quality childcare is, there isn’t enough of it.  I believe that High Quality Childcare is providing care without thinking about making money from doing it.  It’s what you do because you want to do it.  It’s making sure the only thought on your mind is loving, nurturing, providing, caring, molding, educating, sculpting, developing, accepting, mentoring, and protecting the children in your care.   Also, stimulating the child’s cognitive, physical, social/emotional and language development is quality childcare as well as having teachable moments with the children.  Real Quality is teaching the parents what quality really is. 

Some may say that the many degrees, credentials, stars and colors one has is quality, but I believe if you don’t have the love for what you do, all the rest means nothing.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A CHILD CARE PROGRAM

At Tara’s DayCamp, we believe a good daycare program is designed to meet the cognitive, social, physical, intellectual and emotional needs of the child. As an educator it is my obligation to help guide children in a positive direction.  I will nurture as well as educate, provide quality professional care and much more.

In our infant and toddler classrooms, we provide a curriculum that will promote the child’s individual growth and well-being with the development of gross and fine motor skills, sensory, language, cognitive and positive self-concept.  We encourage the children to be independent.  They learn to master such tasks as proper hand washing, stringing shoe laces, going to the bathroom and brushing their teeth. We also adhere to the Developmental Milestone Checklist, where we prepare programs of appropriate activities that meet the needs of all children at a particular stage of development.

With our Preschool Group, the children are developing skills they will need to be successful in Kindergarten.  We encourage each child to feel confident about him or herself, as they continue to master and develop their many skills.
