Discovery Years Childcare

I will create a safe environment fostering trust and security. Parallel play with their peers with support from me as their teacher is the foundation to the goal of interactive play. I will encourage Physical Development using fine motor activities such as age-appropriate art activities, board puzzles and sensory table activities and gross motor activities such as outdoor play in the playground, dancing and indoor climbing play. I will encourage Intellectual Development using story books and reading, singing and felt stories, rhyming and memorization activities including alphabets and counting, as well as crafts and mirror play. Offering choices and asking questions are a big part of the cognitive development framework. I will encourage Language Development through clear, simple and correct communication and conversation, singing and rhyming. Repetition, imitation, body language and gestures are also used to help promote Language Development in children.
