Smiles For Miles

Smiles For Miles Vision:
Ensuring children and families receive the highest quality care in a safe environment. Our mission is to prepare them for success as they grow!

Our team will build trusting relationships and partnerships with children and families while infusing positive energy into the learning community. A rich play-based space offers plenty of opportunity for literacy while allowing children to learn through discovery. It is a place for children to be curious, creative, and experience joy and laughter. We teach life skills such as communication, decision making, problem-solving, self-awareness, self-control, and respect for one another. Our goals are to use strength-based coaching techniques as we understand that every day is an opportunity to discover, learn, and embrace change. We take pride in valuing relationships, families, cultures, and the environment. ‘We welcome each child and family with curiosity about the strengths and gifts they can bring to our program’ (NBCF Our Youngest Children,2011, p.12). We demonstrate an ALL-inclusive space by ensuring wide entrances and ramps for wheelchair accessibility. We also have personalized individual cubbies, a variety of literature and materials that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and a welcome sign written in multiple languages. Our program values are as follows:
• Children’s safety and sustaining a healthy environment.
• Valuing diversity and providing equal opportunity for all children.
• Maintaining confidentiality.
• Working in partnerships with families.
• Working in an environment with professional leaders.
• Promoting health and wellness to children, families, and staff.

Last week as we were applying our sunscreen, one of the children was expressing feelings about how aweful it was putting it on, especially around the face. It opened up conversations about what damages the sun can do to our skin and our health.
My best friend since we were 5 years old passed away from skin cancer caused by the sun. I openly spoke about what happened and the group asked some difficult questions which I answered (as simply as possible). After the conversation, there were no more fusses about applying sunscreen. ❤️
Yesterday marked 6 years of my friends death and I received a message that my classroom caterpillars have arrived. My friend is resting in peace and also watching over my little friends. 🦋😇
