Who We Are
Who We Are
We believe every child can succeed! Our philosophy of education is multi-sensory. Several research proven learning theories support this emphasis upon learning through interactive play and social relationships:
Maslow’s Theory Hierarchy of Basic Human Needs & Learning: A child’s basic needs (physiological, safety, and esteem) must be met before they are able to learn.
Erickson’s Theory Emotion & Learning: Children develop through stages involving issues that must be resolved for healthy development. Creative Curriculum helps teachers know and develop positive relationships with each child and follow a consistent schedule
Learning & the Brain: Learning is a combination of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Rich multi-sensory experiences and stress-free environments benefit children in early child hood as synapses are formed. A well-balanced diet, sufficient sleep and plenty of exercise support healthy brain development
Piaget’s Theory of Logical Thinking & Reasoning: Logical thinking develops in stages and children develop reasoning by manipulating materials; engaging actively in their environment, making new discoveries and modifying their earlier way of thinking.
Vygotsky’s Theory of Social Interaction & Learning: Children grow cognitively by interacting with adults and peers
Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences: Children are intelligent in many different ways and have the capacity to develop all the intelligences if given encouragement, enrichment and support.
Smilansky’s Theory of Children Play & Learning: Young learners are engaged in Functional Play, Constructive Play, Pretend Play, and Games with Rules.
Learning and Resiliency: Competent early educators can make the difference for children threatened by harmful conditions; all children can be reached by adults who protect their normal development.

Illness Policies
Your child's health is of great importance to us. Below are listed some guidelines we enforce to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
1) Handwashing and temperature checks upon entry.
2) Children with contagious symptoms are excluded until the symptoms subside. Please do not bring your child to school if any of the following symptoms are present:
he/she has a fever or has had a fever during the previous 24-hour period
he/she has a heavy nasal discharge
he/she has a constant cough or is unable to lie comfortably due to cough
he/she has vomited during the previous 24-hour period
he/she has drainage from the eyes
he/she has a rash
he/she has had diarrhea during the previous 24-hour period
he/she has symptoms of a possible communicable disease
he/she needs more care than the teachers can give while caring for the other children
he/she cannot comfortably participate in routine activities at school
If a child becomes ill while at school, we will care for that child until the parent or authorized adult can arrive. All parents need to have emergency plans established in case your child becomes ill. Parents are asked to notify the school within 24 hours if their child has any communicable disease (see the communicable disease chart below). The program will then notify all parents in writing when the children in the program have been exposed. (Our toys, cribs, and tables are disinfected daily with a bleach solution.)
Medical Emergency
Should an accident, illness or injury occur during school hours, the following procedures will be followed:
Staff will contact one or both of the parents.
If the parents or the alternate emergency number cannot be reached, the Director will contact the doctor listed on your Emergency Authorization form. Upon his recommendation, a staff member will take your child to the doctor's office or the emergency room at Southern Regional Medical Center 11 Upper Riverdale Rd Riverdale, GA 30274 (770) 991-8000.
Please inform the office immediately if any emergency numbers should change.
Parking Lot Safety
When driving, parking, or walking, please watch out for children. DO NOT PARK anywhere except in designated parking spaces, even when it rains. It is dangerous for small children to try to cross between parked cars. Please review these rules with persons authorized to pickup your child.
