Educational Program

Educational program

Here at Emma Lou Daycare, we apply a LEARN THRU PLAY technic that is based off the American Psychological Assoc Principles of early learning along with other technics derived from the same core principals. We focus on A) Thinking and Learning B) Motivation C) Social-emotional Learning. We implement a series of fun skill games centered around a targeted age group that helps develop the principle that’s being instituted. Our staff is able to use these technics through our integrated technology. We often confer with Pre-K teachers in order to acquire firsthand information on the challenges faced by teachers with incoming children which allows us to be flexible in our approach. We strive to be a catalyst for children entering the Pre-K programs in our area.

  • Daily assessments will be uploaded and recorded for parents to be updated on the child’s progress.
  • The first conference is scheduled in the summer in June.
  • Second Conference in winter January.
  • These assessments will be dubbed A) Basic assessments B) Formative assessments C) Summative assessment

Tracking What we look for

These and other Child care Program Plans can be viewed along with the ability to see real time weekly program plans on the parent portal during enrolling time.

Social and emotional development is fostered by positive connections among students, and between students and teachers. Activities like group projects, sports and playing together teach kids how to engage with others fairly and compassionately. Caring responses from teachers encourage kids to understand their own emotions and those of others.

Language and Literacy

Are served by activities that help kids express themselves in language, recognize letters and numbers, develop their vocabulary and form the early skills of writing. This could mean activities like:

  • Arranging letter blocks into words
  • Naming all the sounds one letter can make or naming words that start with that letter
  • Simply having a conversation were the child is encouraged to build a narrative about their experiences

A child’s cognition develops into thinking and reasoning skills throughout their life. Understanding and identifying like larger and smaller, cause and effect or opposites is the foundation of adult-level reasoning. Kids can develop important reasoning and problem-solving abilities by engaging in activities like counting, measuring and experimenting.
Finally, physical activity and sensory exploration helps children in their perceptual, motor and physical development.

That could include:

  • Sensory exploration activities like sand play
  • Sports and active games such as tag or freeze dance
  • Fine motor coordination play, like building Legos.
