Becki's Backyard

onths, we play in the water each day the weather cooperates. So far this spring, we have taken 2 field trips and I’m excited to plan more! We spend our day reading, writing/drawing, singing, and exploring using a hands-on approach. I have a variety of activities that are available to the children throughout the day. Older kids use puzzles, books, lacing, play-doh, kinetic sand, velcro sticks, and magnets to name a few. Younger kids can stack blocks, explore various shapes and textures, and develop motor skills. Pre-school aged kids will work on letters and letter sounds, shapes, colors, name writing, and pre-reading. We will have a theme each week that will be our focus and will read books, create projects related to that theme. Children will learn to be independent in age-appropriate areas such as using the bathroom, hand-washing, feeding, cleaning up toys, and helping/sharing with others. I provide food for all kids who eat table food. You provide diapers, formula, baby food etc. You will sign a contract upon acceptance that outlines days off, pay schedule, etc. My open hours are Monday-Friday, 7:15am-5pm.
