Philosophy
It is our belief that every child has the right to childcare regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background. At the Sweet Day Care Center each child is seen as an individual and is treated as such during their time at the center. One of our primary goals at (SDC) is to provide a loving healthy environment in which children may grow and develop a strong sense of self. We believe that children learn best when they are confident and able to freely explore the world around them while feeling safe with those caring for them. We strive to provide children with love and security by keeping them active and healthy while providing nutritious meals and challenging activities. We also believe that education is a key to success. We believe that children learn through play, and we base our program on this. We strive to provide children with a strong educational beginning so that they may successfully transition to the school system. We also recognize that children learn at different rates and in different ways which is why we provide diversity to accommodate this.

Our Daily Routine
Our Daily Routine
Our daily routine includes circle time, art, storytelling, seasonal crafts, songs, free play and, of course, practical skills such as cleaning, snack preparation, naptime as our classroom is intended to be as comforting as at home. We encourage the use of toys made from simple and natural materials for children to reinforce children’s imagination and connection with nature. Children are offered many opportunities to experiment with different shape-changing media, including sand, water, clay, and play dough. Our Math and Science class teacher will introduce concrete experiences before abstract concepts. In addition, we will incorporate the imaginary world of storytelling, as well as an introduction to sports such as tennis and soccer, where children will work on coordination, balance, movement, and communication.
