Eva Locke- Director
Hi, I am Eva and I am the Director of the Back 2 Basic Enrichment Program. Before moving to this position, I taught the Pre-K classroom at Jackson Public School, since 2011. I currently hold two Associate degrees and a Bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies from Mississippi College. I also obtained my Child Care Director’s Credentialing Program from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS).
I have two children who keep me very busy with their various activities. I love working with children and seeing their eyes light up when they discover something new. Working at B2BEP is great because we are teaching the future the importance of safe computer usage and time management.
I work 6:30-2:30 Monday through Friday and would love the opportunity to speak with you about your child’s needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with me in person or via email, at [email protected].
Philosophy
At Back 2 Basic Enrichment Program we believe in providing children with the highest quality of care allowing every child to reach their fullest potential, by enhancing all areas of growth and development, in a warm caring, and home-like environment that is a reflection of our children, families, and our community.
We strive to do this by providing a highly positive environment where all members such as staff, children, families, etc. are made to feel welcome and are considered to share an important place within the center/community regardless of gender, race, culture or religious belief. We at Little Darlings Child Care Centre recognise children as unique individuals and aim to enhance all areas of development. Staff will therefore provide an individualized program, which caters for children according to their age and stage of development and aim to meet the 5 learning outcomes in a form of a process and journey rather than focusing on the end result.
Each child’s current knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of the program and child’s documentation on learning and progress is made available to families. Every child is supported to participate in the program where each child’s agency is promoted, enabling them to make choices and decisions and influence events and their world, therefore children are active participants in their learning.
This is implemented by responding to children’s ideas and play and the use of intentional teaching to scaffold and extend each child’s learning. Educators will provide learning environments that are flexible and open ended, plan learning environments with appropriate levels of challenge, where children are encouraged to explore experiment and take appropriate risks in their learning.
This program offers choice as well as a balance of structured/unstructured activities, outdoor/indoor experiences, quiet /noisy, music play, storytime, multicultural, drama play, and routines are organized in ways that maximize child’s learning.
Location
We are located in the Fondren area to service the 2 hospitals in the area. University Medical Center and Baptist Medical Center have evening and night care available to service the needs of all the people in the area.
