Philosophy

Philosophy – We believe that children learn best through play! Our play-based curriculum nurtures cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development in a fun and supportive environment. Engaging activities include dramatic play, sensory exploration, early literacy, letter and number recognition, colors, shapes, name recognition, outdoor play, and more. We foster a love for learning by encouraging curiosity, creativity, and hands-on discovery every day!

Learning Objectives:

Encourage curiosity and exploration | Support language and literacy development | Promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills | Foster creativity and self-expression

For Children:

We help children build friendships, learn cooperation, and healthily express their emotions. We introduce early literacy, letters, and problem-solving skills through hands-on and interactive learning experiences. We provide opportunities for self-expression through arts, music, dramatic play, and storytelling. We support children in making choices, building self-help skills, and feeling confident in their abilities. We offer activities that promote gross and fine motor skills while instilling good nutrition and hygiene practices.

For Families: We maintain open communication and collaboration with families to ensure each child’s success. We provide guidance on child development, parenting strategies, and early education resources. We foster an environment where families feel welcomed, valued, and involved in their child’s learning journey.

Location

About our program

At Dee’s Playful Blessings, we believe that learning is best achieved through play, curiosity, and exploration. Our play-based, child-led curriculum integrates foundational concepts in math, science, engineering, art, social sciences, and early literacy. We use the interests and ideas of the children as a starting point, allowing them to explore topics that excite them. Our open-ended materials encourage discovery, enabling children to investigate, experiment, and draw their own conclusions.

We inspire creativity and critical thinking by providing hands-on experiences that blend learning with imagination. Whether building structures, observing nature, or storytelling, children are encouraged to express themselves and collaborate with peers, fostering communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills. Our nurturing environment celebrates each child’s individuality, preparing them not just for school but for a lifetime of joyful learning and growth.

At Dee’s Playful Blessings, play inspires learning, and love nurtures growth. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery and development.
