Our Philosophy:
Carefree Early Learning Center offers an innovative and creative approach to childcare. We offer a stimulating and caring educational program.
We as care givers, nurture the emotional, intellectual and physical growth of each child entrusted to our care. Our primary goal is to foster a healthy independent child who is at ease with his or her social environment.
Learning Program:
The program is designed to serve Toddlers (1 year to 2 1/2 years); Pre-school (ages 2 1/2 to 5 years, including an Accelerated Pre-K class); and School-Age (6 to 12 years). The following areas are important parts of our total care program: large muscle development, exploration, block play, dramatic play, music and art activities, math and science skills, language development, practical life experiences, and manipulative activities.
Our program provides age specific activities that promote each child's social, physical, and emotional development. Carefree Early Learning Center understands that each child has unique interests and needs.
Illness:
The Center must be notified immediately should your child become ill with a contagious of infectious disease. It will be the center's responsibility to notify the proper health authorities.
As a matter of concern for the welfare of others, as well as your child, children may not attend the center if they are ill or carrying a contagious of infectious disease. If a child does become ill during the day, the child's parents will be notified and arrangements must be made to take the child home.
Allergies:
If your child has allergies, please discuss this with the office. Allergies are common among children of this age.
Accidents:
For every accident or injury sustained, Carefree Early Learning Center provides a carefully documented report indicating the time, place, and nature of the accident. A copy is provided for the parent. Occasionally, when required, the parent is contacted.
Emergencies:
In case of an emergency, every effort will be made to contact the person listed on the child's emergency card. In the event that no authorized persons can be reached, Carefree Early Learning Center is authorized to secure all necessary treatment required for the safety and welfare of the child. Parents consent to pay all expenses incurred by such an emergency. Please update your emergency contact information card on a regular basis, or when a family change occurs.
