Fresh Starts:
We welcome our infants to the world of Fresh Starts. Our Infant Program is designed to work with your infant's individual needs, adapting to their physical, cognitive and psychosocial stages of development. At A Happy Bear Child Care, we know all about helping your infant build a sense of security and laying a foundation for the development of confidence and trust. A Happy Bear Child Care works closely with you on a daily basis to ensure we are meeting your infant's evolving needs through individualized schedules and loving, attentive care.

TODDLER PROGRAM
Next Step:
At A Happy Bear Child Care our toddlers are busy "Discovering Me". Fun and educational activities and materials are provided to foster your child's language development, and social, emotional and cognitive growth. Toddlers are encouraged to explore, discover, invent and experiment while they gain an understanding of the world around them. Next Step offers your child opportunities for individual and
group activities, while integrating a caring and nurturing environment for your rapidly growing toddler.

TWO YEAR OLD PROGRAM
New Adventures:
New Adventures is the mantra for A Happy Bear Child Care’s increasingly independent two-year-old children. We guide your child in daily activities that enhance their language and socialization skills, incorporating children's literature, music and movement activities, and art exploration, all activities are administered
with tender loving care and are designed to meet the needs of your naturally curious and active two-year old. Our goal is to give your child everything he/she needs to grow into a happy, healthy and successful person.

THREE YEAR OLD PROGRAM
It can be done:
Any parent knows "It can be done " is the hymn of the increasingly independent three-year-old child. This program promotes your child's independence, imagination and creativity. Your three-year-old is becoming interested in activities with structure. Language, reading readiness, and socialization skills are integrated in daily activities. Children are encouraged to speak in sentences, and identify colors
and shapes. Further, they will gain a love of children's literature and begin to recognize individual letters of the alphabet. The It can be done program helps your child put all of his or her new skills together to promote a feeling of competency and confidence.

"Here I come!" At A Happy Bear Child Care our five-year-olds are recognized for their special talents and interests. The program includes guided learning experiences in language arts, math, science, social studies, creative art, and music. Emphasis is placed on developing phonetic awareness, reading and
writing skills in an environment that promotes creative expression and peer cooperation. Our environment fosters a love of learning and prepares children for a successful journey through their school age years and beyond.

SCHOOL-AGE PROGRAM
Creative Seekers:
Creative Seekers is a before and after school program for elementary school students. We offer a safe, secure and fun environment, with ample opportunity for socialization in an age-appropriate setting. Children can participate in a wide range of daily activities, including arts and crafts, science and
discovery, games, creative dramatics, sports and recreation. I will walk all Kindergarten children to the bus stop in the AM, pick them up when it is time to do so and walk back to the day care with them.

Your child(ren) will be supervised at all times in all areas excluding the restroom unless my assistance is required.
