Childcare The Gingerbread House believes that children learn from hands-on experiences. Our staff provide children with the materials and resources as well as the freedom and support to learn at their own pace. Activities are child-directed, and developed from the children’s own interests and abilities. Our goal is to help develop a child’s confidence and self-esteem as well as their independence. Teachers prepare a weekly curriculum in an effort to help the children grow socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. Classrooms are divided into four general age ranges based on each child’s development: 6 weeks to 18 months • Individualized care • Personalized daily notes • In-room refrigerators 18 months to 3 years • Personalized daily notes • Development of self-help skills • Spacious classrooms 3 years to 4 years • Large classrooms are divided into learning centers • Small grouping throughout the day • Large outdoor playspace 4 years to 5 years • Oversized classrooms are divided into learning centers • Children are given the freedom to learn at their own pace
