The goal of each program at First Choice Childcare, Inc. is to provide a warm, nurturing, safe, and loving environment where self concepts are enhanced, independence is encouraged, and individuality is respected. First Choice Childcare, Inc. offers the following programs:
Infant: The Infant program is designed to allow infants to develop creative expression, and to foster the development of cognitive, communication, motor, and social/emotional skills. Infant teachers design a weekly curriculum that encourages development in all these areas. All infants receive a daily report detailing the specifics of their feedings, diaperings, and sleep times. This report also notifies parents if their child's diapers or wipes need to be replenished.
Toddler: The toddler program enhances the skills initiated within the Infant curriculum. Toddler teachers design weekly activities that allow each child to work at their current skill level, all the while challenging them to achieve skills on the next developmental stage. The two year old class encorporates the Abeka curriculum in their daily lesson plans. Toddlers also receive a daily report detailing the specifics of amount eaten at meals, diapering, and sleep times. This report also notifies parents if their child's diapers or wipes need to be replenished.
