You may be thinking, “but my child is too young for preschool!” We can assure you that many of our current parents felt the same way before they enrolled their children in our Toddler Care and Young Preschool. Here at Growing Kids Learning Center, we work with children from walking age up to 24 months in our Toddler Care and Young Preschool program to help them with many pertinent developmental skills, socialization, independence, and many other skills that it is never too early for children to learn.

Our safe and kid-friendly environment helps to nourish your already curious toddler’s imagination and development. We allow them to explore their little world under the watchful eye of skilled teachers and professionals who love what they do. Growing minds and bodies need stimulation and with our kid-centric atmosphere, that’s exactly what your little one will receive at Growing Kids Learning Center.

While your young preschooler is busy developing language and social skills, we will also work as a team to help with potty training and establishing a sense of independence. We know it’s hard to watch your child grow up so quickly, but this type of stimulation at an early age is just what they need to excel as they go into preschool and kindergarten.

Preschool Is A Step In The Right Direction For Your Child

If you’re on the fence about preschool for your child, we have a few reasons that just may sway your decision. Growing Kids Learning Center offers a kid-centric preschool program that is the place to be for potty-trained 3-year olds. Our program is designed to propel three and four year olds’ academic, social, and emotional development through structure and experience. You may be thinking that your little one is just too young, but we feel that starting three and four year old children in preschool helps them develop skills in a myriad of areas that will help them as they grow and develop into the people they’re going to be.

You see, at Growing Kids Learning Center preschool, children get to learn how to make choices. With all of the activities we have, your child will be encouraged to find one that interests them and participate. Through participation in activities, the children also learn how to interact and play well with others. Our teachers watch for children who find it difficult to enter into play with other children and are trained on offering suggestions to your child on ways to join the group.

We also help your child with their language and cognitive skill development. We nurture your child’s language skills in a language-rich environment because the preschool age is a key time his or her’s life where their vocabulary grows from roughly 900 words to 2500 words. Because their brains are growing and taking in all of this information, their sentences become longer and more complex. Our teachers are trained to engage the children in conversation, where they are asked thought-provoking questions, introduced to new vocabulary terms, and pushed to expand their language skills.

Call us today or stop by one of our 5 convenient locations. No appointment is necessary and we’d love to meet you and your little one!

3 Good Reasons Your Child Should Attend Preschool

dev3 — Thu, 15 May 2014 18:57:33 +0000

Here at Growing Kids Learning Center, we have designed a preschool program that’s set up to propel young students’ future academic, emotional, and social advancements. Because we are built on the foundation of growing kids, we strongly believe that starting your child in a preschool program is pertinent to your child’s early growth and development. Our entire center is kid-friendly because it is built from the child’s perspective – this means that for potty-trained 3-year olds, our preschool is the place to be! Our teachers, who exceed the highest state standards, have 30 hours of training in early childhood their first year at the Growing Kids Learning Center. Each year after that, they are required to attend 20 hours of trainings and conferences in early childhood development in order to continue their education.

1. But you’re saying, “they’re so young!” Our preschool is set up to build a strong foundation for your child academically that helps your child excel in kindergarten and elementary school. Because kindergarten is becoming more academically focused, it’s important to set your child up for success as early as possible.

2. It isn’t only about academic success. Preschool also promotes social and emotional development. Young children develop their emotional and social skills in real time, meaning that 3 and 4 year olds learn through their experiences and through good teachers. Moreover, when children at this age are able to spend quality time away from their parents, it allows them the skills to build trusting relationships/friendships.

3. A structured environment helps children make friends and teaches them how to play well with others. You may not think that preschool is very structured, but our programs are designed to be just that.
