Thank you for everything Ms. Eva! We have enjoyed watching our son grow into a true student who loves math, patterns, and compound word! We’re also so impressed how well he had gotten at writing his name. Thank you for being fabulous, kind, patient, and loving teacher. We will miss you!

Philosophy
As an Early Childhood Educator, I strongly believe that children are not just “blank slates” waiting to be filled with knowledge. Instead, they are unique individuals who deserve to be treated as “people” with their own strengths and weaknesses. That’s why I believe that Early Childhood Educators should be “child-centered” and focus on nurturing the “whole-child”.
At every step of the way, I provide children with ample opportunities to grow and succeed in every aspect of their being. Through carefully crafted centers and lessons, which are planned from the direction of the children themselves, I enhance their social/emotional, physical, cognitive, creative, and initiative areas. This approach ensures that they receive a well-rounded education that caters to their individual needs.
I strongly believe that children require opportunities for autonomy and self-worth on a daily basis. In my classroom, I make it my pledge to always provide such opportunities for autonomy and success. By doing so, I am able to foster the “whole-child” in every possible way.
I am always available to listen to the children, offer a helpful hand, and love each and every one of them for their unique strengths and weaknesses. My approach ensures that each child is able to thrive in a safe and nurturing environment that celebrates their individuality and supports their growth.
My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your children to grow and thrive. So, why wait any longer? Join my family network today and give your child the best possible start in life.

About our program
Kids R Us Learning Center is a great home-based family childcare program that participates in the voluntary pre-kindergarten program (VPK). This ensures that children receive a high-quality education that prepares them for the future, and Ms. Ava uses a blended approach that includes the Beyond Center and Circle Time Curriculum and Creative Curriculum to teach the whole child.
The program is built around open-ended play, music, and arts, which allows children to express themselves freely. Ms. Ava also emphasizes the importance of organic gardening and encourages children to participate in this activity. Additionally, Kids ‘R” Us Learning Center provides plenty of time for outdoor play, which gives children the opportunity to learn and explore their natural surroundings.
To help children discover the world around them, neighborhood walks are also included in the program. It is important to note, however, that transportation is not included in this program. Overall, Kids R Us Learning Center is an excellent choice for families seeking a nurturing, educational, and loving environment for their children.
Throughout the program, children are taught a range of important skills, including the recognition and printing of their first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower case letters when named, and reciting numbers 1-20. There is also a focus on developing motor skills, social and emotional skills, and many other skills that are important for children’s growth and development.
Creative freedom is encouraged throughout the program, with free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor play, science, and gross and fine motor activities all forming part of the curriculum. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow children to learn through play, which helps them to develop a love of learning that will serve them well throughout their lives.
