CURRICULUM
Mis Manitos uses the Creative curriculum, a play-based learning curriculum that has its foundation in research that shows play (the exploratory and creative activity that young children initiate themselves) is the primary way young children develop concepts and understanding about the world. Play provides benefits for cognitive, social, emotional, creative, physical and moral development. Play helps children develop the skills necessary for critical thinking and leadership. Play is how children solve problems and feel good about their ability to learn.
PHILOSOPHY
In Mis Manitos Child Care, children are given the opportunity to explore materials and participate in a variety of experiences. Activities are planned and implemented in an open-classroom setting. Children are free to choose from age-appropriate activities including art, music, language development, pre-math skills, science and nature, and dramatic play. Children develop self-esteem, independence and problem-solving skills as they make choices and assist in planning the environment and the activities.
Our primary goal is for children to feel safe and secure. Prior to being independent a child must know that he or she can depend on adults and a predictable environment.
Children are treated with respect and kindness. We recognize that children develop at different rates and have different interest.
