Buzy Beez Daycare & Preschool

Filozofi

Mission Statement At Buzy Beez Daycare/Preschool, we believe in the value and uniqueness of each child we serve. Our childcare and preschool experience is designed to promote each child’s own individual social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. As caregivers and educators, our mission is to provide a sate and developmentally appropriate learning environment, which fosters a child’s natural desire to explore, discover, create, and become a lfelong learner.

Philosophy Our program is built around the concept that children are born ready to learn. As caregivers, we strive to create a learning environment that is safe, stimulating and encouraging. The following principles are excerpted from the lowa Early Learning Standards (2006) and serve as the toundation for our curriculum. • Children develop knowledge of their world through active interactions with caregivers, peers, materials, and events. • Learning is sequential, building on prior understandings and experiences. • Learning proceeds at ditterent rates in each area and each child; children will show a range of skills and understandings in any one area of development. • Learning in each area is interconnected. Young children learn best through experiences, which incorporate severalareas of development. • Learning is embedded in a culture. Children learn best when their learning activities are rooted in a familiar cultural context. • Learning begins in the rammy, continues in early care and education settings, and depends on parent involvement and caregiver guidance.
