Davo Family Child Care

From the Director:

Ours is an emergent, integrated curriculum. It draws from the children's experiences and play fostering exploration, stimulating more curiosity and possibilities which helps them exercise their thinking skills.

From the Director:

Brain development and neural connections are at their peak from birth to three, so it is important that children have plentiful, meaningful experiences and relationships in a small nurturing environment to support their learning.

We are here to enrich a child's life with meanigful experiences and to encourage exploration.

Our mission is to provide a safe, warm, caring, high quality, developmentally appropriate and supportive learning environment for your child.

Our everyday activities include Art, Science and Math, Literacy and Language, Music and Movemnt. Outdoor space encourages physical activity and the development of large motor skills. There are many opportunities for dramatic play and lots of sensory experiences. Manipulatives are always available. Summer Mencher, our music teacher and therapist enriches our music program once a week.

Nutrition is an integral part of our daily health program. Balanced and varied home cooked meals, organic milk, and nutritious snacks are served family style. Children learn about different foods and their culture is integrated into our menus. Here, social skills, sharing and taking turns also make an appearance at meal times.

We believe communication between home and day care is essential to the development of the child. Family child care gives us a rare opportunity to come together and work together as a whole for the well being of every child in our program.

Where and with whom your child will spend most of his or her day is very important and can at times be intimidating. We also recognize that strong attachment can also make it difficult for a child to transition to a new caregiver and a new environment so we work with parents to help them and the child ease into our care and make the transition easy and comfortable for everyone..
