Apple Lane Daycare

The goal of our curriculum is to provide activities and
experiences that will help children develop physically,
intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
Emergent Reading: Books, music play, manipulatives, board games,
learning charts, conversations, and dramatic play help children to
develop emergent literacy skills such as oral language, concepts of print,
alphabet knowledge and phenomic awarness.
Sensory Play: Young children learn so much about the world through
their senses. We provide time and an opportunity for children to
explore a variety of materials and mediums.
Music Play: We sing, we use rhythm instruments, and we move to
music.
Art for Young Children: We use a combination of child-directed as
well as teacher directed art activities.
Outside Play: We have a large outdoor play area for children to
develop their fine and gross motor skills. We are outside everyday rain
or shine.
Dramatic Play: We provide puppets, curtains, costumes and a variety
of props for the children to work with.
Woven Word: Early Literacy for Life
Woven Word is a researched based program developed by the
Committee for Children that combines social-emotional learning with
emergent literacy skills. Through the use of dialogic reading and a
technique called Question with CARE children deepen their
understanding of themselves and of others.

Children website at www.cfchildren.org
The Guidance of Young Children
The purpose of all discipline is to help the child develop inner
self-control, acceptable behavior, and respect for others. When
problems arise, children are encouraged to solve their own problems
verbally. I will intervene to help by offering problem solving alternatives
when necessary or with pre-verbal children.
