At BellBrook, we are committed to providing each child a safe, healthy and fun environment to look forward to each day. Every child's first important developmental lesson in life is to learn to trust adults; to know they can be depended upon to provide care for them and to meet their needs. We believe that early care and learning is important to children and can help make a positive difference lat
er in their lives. We understand that children develop and learn at their own pace, and they have individual interests. Our hands-on curriculum and daily classroom schedules allow the children time for small and large group activities, social interactions, fine and gross motor skill development and their constant need to be challenged as they are learning and having fun. Children can choose from a variety of age-appropriate activities including art, music, story time, language development, math, science, dramatic play and outside playground activities. Children's independence, self-esteem, self-confidence and skills needed to solve problems develop as they choose and plan their activities each day. As we work with the "whole child" each day, we strive to offer them experiences and activities that stimulate them and making learning fun. Our center offers parents an "Open-Door Policy". We provide communication through daily activity sheets, parent memos, planned activity calendars, newsletters, special events and e-mail. We strive to maintain a partnership with our parents and encourage you to read lesson plans, schedules, and posted notices so that you are always aware of the "happenings" at BellBrook.
