What activities do you do with the children? What is a typical day like?
At our childcare centers, we create a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment where each child’s individual needs are met. Our activities promote growth in cognitive, motor, and emotional skills, while also supporting social, physical, and spiritual development. With a consistent routine, we help children feel secure, confident, and engaged. We focus on providing care that balances structure with flexibility to support each child’s development. For behavioral concerns such as biting or hitting, we address them with patience and positive discipline strategies.
How do you handle discipline or behavioral problems? For instance, how do you handle biting, hitting, or bullying situations?
At our childcare centers, we use a child-centered approach to discipline, focusing on emotional development, positive social skills, and building healthy relationships. We address behavioral challenges through understanding, redirection, proactive strategies, positive reinforcement, and social-emotional support. We collaborate with families for a consistent approach and emphasize teaching rather than punishment. Time-outs are not used; instead, we help children process their emotions and make better choices. Our goal is a safe, inclusive environment that nurtures growth and understanding.
What security measures do you take for your facility?
To ensure safety, we implement secure access controls, including keypad entry and unique codes for families and staff. We require valid photo IDs for authorized pick-ups and perform thorough background checks for staff. Regular safety drills, emergency preparedness, and surveillance provide additional security measures. These practices create a secure environment where families can feel confident in their child’s well-being.
