Philosophy

Welcome to Little Pharaohs home child care and preschool! We are happy to welcome you into our small community. We are a play-based program with a max of 14 wonderful children ranging in ages from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our goal is to provide guidance and developmentally appropriate activities that set foundational skills for the healthy growth and development of our child. The focus of these activities is sensory, physical, language, music, art, all learned through “teacher/child directed play”.

We make it a high priority to help children acquire a good self-image and promote an “I can do it” attitude. It is our goal to provide an environment that makes children feel welcomed and at home. In our program, children will feel supported as they engage with new ideas and learning.

Our program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy as well as RIE - Resources for Infant Educators. We believe that children should guide their own learning through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing. Our classroom environment gives children endless ways and opportunities to express themselves.

We are a licensed facility that has been in operation since 1997.

Little Pharaohs Mission Statement

The first years are the most important.

As young minds develop, they have an extraordinary capacity to learn. During these few years, it is extremely important to make sure your child is in an environment that is both challenging and rewarding.

I believe that each child needs a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore and experiment. Our program is designed to foster learning at each child's own pace.

Through age-appropriate activities, each child can master skills in the areas of communication, cognitive and physical development, and social interaction. By experiencing success in each of these areas, a child becomes more confident and self-reliant. These positive learning experiences at an early age contribute to the child's sense of self and emotional well-being.

When children are presented with an opportunity to experience the world in an age appropriate and temperamentally appropriate setting they will fulfill their inborn quest for learning.

With assistance and direction of knowledgeable and experienced teachers, young children can develop a strong sense of self through their accomplishments, The relationship built with teachers and peers enables children to develop a sound social foundation, which will enable them to be successful in their future endeavors.
