Choosing daycare centers for your children may be a stressful decision in your life. However, you can rest assured that when you opt for the Parkland Children’s Academy, you are making a choice that will best prepare your children for school and give them all they need to succeed at school.
Daycare centers help support early child development. Qualified, trained and experienced staff help develop your children’s cognitive and language skills, and early skills involving letters and numbers. We want your children to be as prepared as possible when they start kindergarten.
Research shows that the first five years of a child’s life are so important to brain development. One way to help children develop is to give them the chance to freely explore, discover and create, which is what we believe in at the Parkland Children’s Academy.
In addition, developing a child’s social skills is another important contribution made by daycare centers. When children learn how to interact with other children at a young age, this will help prepare them and guide them through kindergarten. An environment full of a child’s peers will not seem so overwhelming if they have already experienced it at daycare.
In addition to a curriculum that allows children to freely explore, discover, create and develop their skills, we know that having the right staff is just as important. That is why daycare centers should be staffed with competent, nurturing and well-trained staff and that the different groups should also keep a low child-to-teacher ratio.
No one is a better teacher to a child than his or her parents. Good daycare centers will work in partnership with parents to make the day a continuation of learning based on each family’s culture, beliefs, and routines. We encourage all parents to be fully involved in their child’s early education in order to help them develop all necessary skills.
The more that our staff knows about a child’s existing skills, routines and interests, the better we will be able to plan classroom activities that will speak directly to your child. At the Parkland Children’s Academy, we strive to do all we can to foster early development in your child.
