Program Philosophy
Angel Family Child Care (AFCC) is dedicated to nurturing children’s emotional, physical, cognitive, creative and social growth and development. We promote children’s naturally active inquiry, exploration and discovery of the world.
AFCC is committed to supporting children’s development and learning. AFCC’s daily curriculum includes Music, Dance, Exercise, Arts, English, Science, Language, and Social activities. Every week I plan new activities and explore new topics. One of my favorite educational activities is teaching the children about different countries. This lesson helps children to become more familiarized with other cultures. Weekly teachings include lessons in writing and pronouncing letters, numbers, and common words. The children learn about many different topics like colors,Shapes, animals, and food groups. We also have outdoor time where the children get to run around and have fun. This schedule allows the children to participate in physical exercise. AFCC also has special guests to teach the children about music, dance and Spanish, such as Mr. Putnam. Mr Putnam brings his musical instruments and puppets for music time with the children.
Education in Math, English, Science, etc. are important, but I also think education in social development is equally important. AFCC is committed in promoting the children’s self-awareness, competence, and self-worth. Preschool aged children must be given opportunities to do things and solve problems without intervention from others. Children need to be aided in the development of individual respect and the development of positive self-esteem. Self-determination is the key to building self-esteem. I always encourage children to do things for themselves whenever this is possible. I encourage them to try even when they initially think they can’t. Each child is taught to be responsible for completing her or his project and for cleaning up before going on to something else. These tasks will help the children learn how to work together and prepare for Kindergarten.
AFCC is not only dedicated in the educational and social development of the children, but also their health. It is highly important to feed children a well balanced diet that does not have high amounts of sugar or fats. I personally prepare all snacks and meals at AFCC. My meals include organic foods, when available. I also prepare special snacks and meals for our children who are vegetarian.
