Our nurturing environments and individualized support ensures that all children and their families receive what they need to develop in a healthy way.

Our areas of focus are:

• Primary Care – assigning a primary infant care teacher to each child and family
• Small Groups – creating small groups of children and caregivers

• Personalized Care – responding to individual needs, abilities, and schedules

Each day, utilize daily resources focused on language and literacy skill development, and read aloud using our children’s appropriate books and Digital Children’s Library from a wide range of genres that explore life in other cultures, celebrate diversity, spark curiosity, and inspire children’s imaginations.

We also use the following tools: ASQ, DRDP, Class assessment and environmental rating scale (ITERS).

We invite you to spend some time in your child’s classroom to become familiar with the ins and outs of their play, is a window into their heart and mind.

The Desired Results Development Profile (DRDP) is a Developmental Continuum from Early Infancy to Kindergarten Entry. It is a formative assessment instrument developed by the California Department of Education for young children and their families to be used to inform instruction and program development.  All our students are monitored and assessed utilizing this formative assessment for developmental benchmarks. These are communicated with parents during parent meeting conferences. Assessments are done once per year and parents will be notified of parent meeting conferences two weeks before the meeting. We pride ourselves in our parent/school partnerships that help nurture the development of your child.  Lead teachers, with assistance from teacher aides, will gather information for portfolio assessments of individual children. These assessments will include written regular anecdotal observations, photos, samples of artwork, and other examples of child’s development. We try to gather samples of all areas of development: physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and language, including descriptions of body language communication.  Observations are used to assess the needs of children, to plan curriculum and to problem-solve when children have special needs. Good written anecdotal observations are invaluable when working with parents and making referrals to other professionals. They also provide a record of a child’s developmental milestones.
