Philosophy
We strive to be a model of play-based child-led early child care education for our community. It is the goal of the KBears Home Child Care, LLC’s program to promote in each individual child their abilities to be curious, creative, and courteous through PLAY. As a provider, it is my goal to provide a safe, supportive, and caring environment for learning to take place through PLAY. Our end goal is NOT Kindergarten but to have a foundation for lifelong learning.
Location
We are located in the neighborhood of Edgewater in the Florida Shores. We have been in our home for 24 year. We are just south of state road 442 and 5 miles from Interstate 95.
About our program
Play is a child’s pathway to lifelong learning and is supported in this program.
We believe there is more than getting ready for kindergarten, we believe laying a foundation and meeting children where they are. We build on their strengths, courage (to try new things), voice(social & emotional needs) and perseverance to become a lifelong of learner.
