Early Start Day Care offers a nurturing, caring and educational environment where children Explore, Play and Grow. We provide a quality educational program, and age suitable curriculum.

Early Start Curriculum

Our goal is to educate your child for life, which is what separates Early Start from traditional child care. Our curriculum helps children to learn on their own, develop strong academic, and sense of confidence that will help them in the classroom and beyond.  

Early Start provides children with a solid academic jumpstart by implementing a multi-sensory integrated approach to education. Our schedule is filled with learning and fun; which are the key ingredients of our Life Essentials. Our goal is to prepare the citizens of tomorrow by exposing children to vast forms of education supported by our advanced accredited curriculum in conjunction with music integration, science, technology etc. 

Our program helps children of all ages and levels to become independent, self-learners. The curriculum focuses on six areas of development : Cognitive, Communication, Emotional, Fine Motor, Gross Motor, and Social Skills.

INFANTS 

Cognitive Skill: Infants are building their memories, learning to develop words and learning to recognize familiar sounds. They are exploring with their hands and mouths. We encourage your child to explore different textured materials, Peek -A- Boo and complete simple wooden puzzles.  

Communication Skills: Emotional development involves infants feeling safe and secure with adults in their lives. We hug, crude, and walk your child around the classroom while talking about everything they see.  

Fine Motor Skills: Fine motor skills are developed in the small muscle groups like those in fingers and hands. We help infants learn to grasp items and help them eat, color, and complete other daily activities.    

Gross Motor Skills: Gross motor development is the growth of the large muscle groups, like those in the legs and arms. Gross motor skills for infants include holding up their hands, rolling over, crawling, and pulling themselves up.   

Social Skills: By modeling good manners and proper social skills to your infant we encourage the social skills such making eye contact, imitating facial expressions, and wanting to be close to other people.
