Philosophy
Our program follows a play-based philosophy. We believe that children learn social, cognitive, and emotional skills by exploring new experiences. Our environment is responsive to the children in our care, and allows children’s own interests to help facilitate their learning and engagement.
About our program
Watch Me Grow Home Childcare is located in Richmond Virginia between Forest Hill Ave and Jahnke Rd. We are just a short walk away from Westover Elementary.
We have created our environment with developmentally appropriate activities of any child’s choice. We have a home living center for learning through play, a free play center for developing social skills and meaningful interactions and a block center for gross motor skills. Outdoor time will be used to allow students an opportunity to exercise, run, play and move!
