¡Hola! Soy Susana Medina, la fundadora de Wonderschool Family Child Care de Medina. Me inspiré para comenzar mi propio programa porque vi una necesidad de crear un “child care program” de alta calidad en mi comunidad. Tengo 15 años de experiencia trabajando con niños pequeños.

Filozofi

At Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool, we are passionate about providing children with the love and respect they need to grow. From the moment that our students enter our door, we provide them with warmth and affection so that they have a home away from home. When parents leave in the morning after dropping off their children, I want both the parents and children to feel assured and comfortable. My goal is to develop the social and emotional skills of my students so that they are prepared for life-long learning.

It is very important to me that our children have educational growth that is developmentally appropriate. We create an environment where our students are encouraged to choose activities that align with their interests, so that whether they are exploring nature, engaging with math concepts, or participating in dramatic play, they are excited to learn.

I believe in working with the parents of my students as a team, so that what our children learn at our program continues at home as well. I also am committed to attending informational workshops on child development so that I can integrate new learnings from the field of early childhood education into our program.

En Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool, es nuestra pasión a brindarles a los niños el amor y el respeto que necesitan para crecer. Desde el momento en que nuestros estudiantes entran por nuestra puerta, les brindamos la atención para que tengan “un hogar lejos del hogar”. Cuando los padres se van por la mañana, quiero que tanto los padres como los niños se sientan seguros y cómodos. Mi objetivo es desarrollar las habilidades sociales y emocionales de mis estudiantes para que estén preparados para el aprendizaje permanente.

Para mí es muy importante que nuestros hijos tengan un crecimiento educativo que sea apropiado para el desarrollo. Creamos un entorno en el que se alienta a nuestros estudiantes a elegir actividades que se alineen con sus intereses, de modo que, ya sea que estén explorando la naturaleza, participando en conceptos matemáticos o participando en juegos dramáticos, estén entusiasmados de aprender.

Creo en trabajar con los padres de mis estudiantes como un equipo, para que lo que nuestros hijos aprendan en nuestro programa continúe también en casa. También estoy comprometido a asistir a talleres informativos sobre desarrollo infantil para poder integrar nuevos aprendizajes del campo de la educación de la primera infancia en nuestro programa.

Kote

Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool is located in a sweet and welcoming single family home in the Pasadena neighborhood. We are a proud Early Head Start program where “children benefit from low teacher-to-child ratios and class sizes, qualified teachers, ongoing supervision and coaching to support implementation of curriculum and responsive caregiving, and broad-scale parent engagement activities.”

We’ve designed our care environment to be bright, organized, and accessible. Some of our favorite areas include our large backyard for plenty of fun outdoor time, arts and crafts tables for expressing creativity, and little library which serves as a place for children to relax in silence.

At Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool, I want to provide a loving home away from home.

Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool está ubicado en una casa dulce y acogedor en el barrio de Pasadena. Somos un programa orgulloso de Early Head Start donde “los niños se benefician de la baja proporción de maestros por niño y el tamaño de las clases, la supervisión y el entrenamiento continuo de maestros calificados para apoyar la implementación del plan de estudios y la atención receptiva, y actividades de participación de padres a gran escala”.

Hemos diseñado nuestro entorno de atención para que sea brillante, organizado y accesible. Algunas de nuestras áreas favoritas incluyen nuestro amplio patio trasero para divertirse al aire libre, mesas de arte para expresar creatividad, y una pequeña biblioteca que sirve como un lugar para que los niños se relajen en silencio.

En Medina’s Family Child Care Wonderschool, quiero proporcionar un “home away from home.”
