TENDER HEARTS offers childcare in a nurturing, home setting. My primary goal is to provide a loving, safe, and stimulating environment for children. During these important years of a child's early development, my hope is that our small, secure environment along with having "siblings" of all ages to interact and play with, will create an atmosphere in which your child will come to regard Tender Hearts as their "home away from home".
PARENT-PROVIDER RELATIONSHIP
I believe in working together with parents to achieve the most successful child care arrangement for their children. Good communication is the key to success.Parents and providers need to exchange pertinent information about the child’s life including any changes in routine, special events, activities, or significant life changes such as relationships, relocation, etc. This information is important for understanding the child’s feelings and behavior and will help me work towards the overall growth and well-being of the child.
CHILD CARE OBJECTIVES
To offer a learning environment Learning is not necessarily the ABC’s and 123’s, but also the learning of values. The curriculum balances the actions of play with learning tools like phonics, art work and manipulatives to make learning fun, while achieving individual milestones.I encourage learning values such as honesty, respect, self–reliance, self-discipline, moderation, sensitivity to others, fairness, and kindness.To develop a proper approach to discipline Since children occasionally need discipline, it is important that you and I share a similar philosophy so that your child is not too confused as to where the boundaries are and what is expected of him/her.
At Tender Hearts', children are taught which behaviors are inappropriate, and why, and given alternatives that are acceptable. To foster unconditional love This kind of love is very important to me because children should not grow up feeling that in order to be loved and cared for they must meet numerous conditions.We have a well-rounded curriculum, covering ALL ages, from 0 to 5 years. Our kids have graduated with reading and writing skills, prior to entering kindergarten.
