WHAT WE'RE
ABOUT |
|
Located within the WINGS
Center, Adventures in Growing has access to a variety of teaching
environments not generally available to childcare programs. An indoor gym
and playground enhance physical development and creative movement
activity. We want
children to equate learning with fun, curiosity with adventure, and
questions with exploration
Our curriculum is inclusive and
multi-cultural, making the children’s transition from home out into the
world-at-large a smooth and pleasant experience. Routine tasks are
incorporated into the program as a means of furthering children's
learning, self-help, and social skills.
The environment at Adventures in Growing is safe, healthy, and
developmentally appropriate. We encourage children to think, reason,
question, and experiment. Parents are a child's first teacher, so
our staff will strive to develop positive and productive relationships
with families. We will respect each family, its culture, language,
customs, and beliefs. |
Our goal is to
bias children
positively to all
types of new
learning
experiences. |
|
We
believe that if children feel comfortable and safe, they will naturally embark
on their journey of discovery.
|
|
We think we’re the perfect
solution for 2-career families seeking a stimulating yet nurturing
environment for children while parents are working. Consistent staffing
and creative curriculum help to create a place kids feel great about
coming to. Because Adventures in Growing is located inside the Wings
Center, kids can be involved in a variety of learning and recreational
experiences throughout the week.

Adventures in Growing offers a diverse
learning environment, which includes a variety of tools, equipment
specifically suited to early learning, and manipulatives designed to
develop a multitude of skills. Our focus is on kindergarten readiness,
which includes socialization skills and conflict resolution skills along
with academic skills. The whole child is supported in his/her journey. We work towards providing a warm, nurturing
environment that will promote each child’s physical, social, emotional,
creative and intellectual development. |
Building and sustaining the
settings in which individuals can grow and unfold, not “kept in their
place” but empowered to become all they can be, is not only the
task of parents and teachers, but the basis of management and political
leadership - and simple friendship.
