At The Little Red School House, we believe that each and every child is unique; every child grows and develops at their own pace. The first years of life are the most crucial and all interactions are very meaningful and help to build a strong foundation for intellectual, emotional, and social growth. With our small home-like environment, we are able to provide your child with individualized attention, as well as provide a nurturing, loving, caring and educational atmosphere. We feel communication is the KEY to a successful experience for you and your child. We believe the parent and/or guardian is the child’s first teacher. The first years are important and what children learn during these years will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Here at The Little Red School House the children will learn how to do things for themselves, to develop a sense of self worth, to use their large and small muscles, to play with other children, to use expressive language, to expand their attention span, to develop good listening skills, to share toys, to share time given by teachers, and to gain basis skills.The Little Red School House policies uphold the state mandated requirements. All of the policies are set forth to ensure the best possible care and protection for the children at the daycare. Our goal is to assist the parents in caring for, nurturing and providing the best possible beginning for their children. Their happiness is our happiness.
