Description:

Shiny Little Stars offers educational home daycare for families with children between 15 months and 5 years old. We would like to take this opportunity to give you a general overview of what we will be offering for your child:

* A unique warm and friendly environment with caring teachers who are, above all, concerned about children and shower them with love and affection

* Opportunities for being with other children in an educational environment where children can interact socially with other children of various ages throughout the day.

* Appropriate play experiences that contribute to the developmental needs of the child. We will provide a comfortable home environment with age appropriate activities and experiences, carefully designed to encourage a healthy social interaction of mixed age children, while fostering and encouraging individual cognitive, emotional and physical growth of each child.

* A program to encourage skill development.

* A more closely monitored health environment where exposure to communicable diseases, germs, and infections is at a minimum.

Philosophy:

Welcome to our home!

We are very proud to offer a creative environment where your child's individuality is valued and nurtured.

We believe that children can only develop to their full potential when they feel at ease in their surroundings. To this end we aim to provide a safe, stimulating and happy learning environment.

We base our child care provision and teaching on models which focus on developing the whole child, and base our learning program on what each individual child is able to do.

We acknowledge that all children bring with them their own experiences, knowledge of home language, and culture.

We value these, and actively promote an understanding of each other's backgrounds so that our children develop an open mind, preparing them for life as citizens in an ever-changing world.

We hope to make you feel a part of our family, as Shiny Little Stars is a place where parents and indeed, the entire family, play a very integral part in the education process.

* communication, language and literacy development
* mathematical development
* knowledge and understanding of the world
* physical development
* creative development

The important element of play underpins all learning in our day care. Through play, children feel free to explore and experiment - often without even realizing that they are learning. Play situations found within our day care may be either planned by our staff, or may be spontaneous initiatives taken by the children, but our aim is to always make play both enjoyable and challenging - for both the children and staff!
