Our Child Care Center in Kent, WA
Our Philosophy
Our Center offers several programs that accommodate children from the age of 4 weeks to 12 years. Placement in a particular program is based not only on age, but also on a child's physical, social and intellectual maturity. We believe that children learn best by exposure and hands on experiences. We address each child's ability and goal set for the next developmental stage, both physically and cognitively. We believe that within the center we offer a variety of emotionally nurturing environments. We believe that parents are the child's first teacher and work within that bond to build a relationship of respect and trust. We believe in educating the whole child, physically, emotionally and mentally. We view our center as an extension of home and community and have an open door policy.
What a day at FCToo looks like
We are open from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM and families are welcome to contract for up to 10 hours during these times. We serve breakfast, hot lunch, 2:00 PM snack and a 5:00 PM snack, all included in tuition.
We have a wide variety of learning opportunities for the children we serve.
Waddlers
enjoy exploring their environment and are working on walking and talking skills. They start to play with 1 or 2 more children for short periods of time.
For Toddlers, we use a lot of verbal communications to further their vocabulary with songs and stories. We start toilet training in this room based on interest.
For Preschool 1, we work on social skills, sign language and introduction to letters and sounds. We work on empathy and how we make an impact on other people.
School Age
has multiple programs. One, when school is in session and another when school is on breaks. During the school year children get homework time help and group time. During summer our time is spent exploring the arts and community.
As children grow, we believe a typical schedule aids in the confidence and assurance that they have control and can count on what will happen next. Our teachers are very experienced and well trained. All Staff are kept up to date on current teaching methods and use their talent and expertise to design, adapt and invent learning centers that best serve the children in the room.
