Is Your Child Care Business Preparing Children for School Readiness?

Ensuring that children are ready for successful school experiences is one of the most pressing issues in early childhood policy and practice. `NAEYC

One of the top questions that parents ask me is: “Will my child be ready for Kindergarten?” And I simply reply, Yes!

In fact, I can honestly reply with a confident YES, because in my preschool program we are always focusing on meeting the developmental needs of each child and taking the necessary steps to prepare children for school readiness.

If you are worried that your program may not be preparing the children in your program for school readiness, I suggest that you contact your local school district and review their kindergarten requirements.Also, check out this article on School Readiness by NAEYC, Click here

However, it is more important, to be sure that the children in your care are provided with developmentally appropriate experiences, because this is a step to assuring that the children in your program are be prepared for school success!

Furthermore, now when parents ask you if your program prepares children for school, you can honestly answer by saying… Yes!!

A Bushel Basket of Curriculum Ideas on Apples

September is my favorite time of year!

I love September because it symbolizes the beginning of a new preschool year and many childcare programs teach children about Apples during the month of September because September is Apple season!

There are so many fun things that you can do with an apple theme and kids love to have fun learning with Apples.

Does your childcare program have an Apple Theme?  If  no, the unit below is full of a variety of Apple related activities for your preschoolers.

If you already are implementing an Apple unit and you simply need more ideas; more apple related activities or just a click away!
