Philosophy

Pre-school Childcare Philosophy and Goals Learning starts soon after birth, and 90% of brain development occurs during the first five years of life. Children go through common stages of development: they each learn at their own pace, learn best by doing, and do what is interesting and fun for them. Children with a positive self-concept are better able to cope with new situations, which is the essence of successful human development.

Our belief at JELLY BEAN JUNCTION is that learning has to be fun for your child! Fun coupled with parental involvement, significant teacher-child interaction, and a small group environment using a developmentally designed curriculum is best for early childhood development.

We measure your child’s development by assessing and monitoring their learning gains. Your child could do this at the beginning of the year, which is what they will know at the end. We communicate with you on a regular basis about your child’s developmental progress on an individual basis and as compared to other children.

Our programs are implemented by a caring, nurturing, highly trained, devoted, and qualified staff. The primary concern of our staff is the well-being of your child and to see that your child enjoys age-appropriate learning experiences and acquires all the skills and confidence needed to master a more structured future educational environment.

Nurturing your child’s growth and success is a shared journey. Through frequent communication channels like Procare, newsletters, and daily updates, JELLY BEAN JUNCTION ensures parents are actively engaged in their child’s learning journey. Together, let’s make every step a special and enriching experience!

Our facilities were designed with your child’s development in mind, together with your child’s safety and security, including a full camera system. There is a pleasant atmosphere in tastefully decorated and maintained classrooms where all details are intended for a learning experience. The classrooms include a children’s library, learning software, and games. Outside, we maintain separate age-appropriate playgrounds with play equipment with soft and hard surfaces of different textures, all to enhance your child’s gross and fine motor skills and social development.

In addition, we emphasize cleanliness and go to great lengths to ensure that we maintain a beautiful facility so that you, as a parent, can be proud to have your child attending JELLY BEAN JUNCTION. We employ a full-time custodian who cleans the school daily at closing and on the weekends.

Location

We are located off of Wickham Road, about 1 mile south of Sarno Road; the side street across from Dustin’s BBQ.
