The Early Childhood
programs are located at Plymouth Church on Milwaukee's East side,
at the Lydell Community Center in Whitefish Bay, and at Indian Hill
School in River Hills. Early childhood care is provided between 7:00
AM and 6:00 PM. Children can attend three, four, or five days per
week.
In this fast-paced
world, where our children must grow up all too quickly, we feel it is
important that we give them the opportunity to be kids and enjoy all the
wonders of their early childhood years to the fullest. Our teachers and
administrators are warm, nurturing, knowledgeable of child development,
and committed to the education of young children.
Our program goals for children address the following areas:
| |
|
To
provide a safe, secure,. and developmentally appropriate environment
for young children which gives them many and varied opportunities
to explore, discover, and enjoy their world in an active, hands-on
way. |
|
To provide an atmosphere in which children can develop positive attitudes towards
themselves and others and gain skill in communication and problem solving.
|
|
To provide an environment for learning and growing that is built around the young
child's need for nurturing relationships, safety, comfort, physical activity,
emotional expression, social interaction, and intellectual stimulation.
|
|
To respect children as unique individuals who learn at different rates
and in different ways.
|
|
To involve the parents of the children being served
in such a way that they are able to evaluate and influence the program
and its policies.
|
|
To provide a professionally supportive work environment
in which teachers and administrators continually evaluate and develop
their understanding and skill.
