Many of our staff members have Early Childhood Education (ECE) certification and can help your children develop the following:

• Independence skills – This includes putting things within their reach and allowing them to make independent choices. We also encourage them to access their own water bottles for drinks throughout the day, get ready to go outside, etc.
• Problem-solving abilities – We achieve this through games and stories, and encourage questions such as what should he/she do? And what would you do? This also includes guided interaction with peers.
• Language and vocabulary skills – These skills can be developed through stories, music and group activities. Even normal conversations are a big part of our childcare program in New Maryland.
• Social skills – These skills are important to learn what's appropriate and what’s not. It also includes table etiquette, using manners (please, thank you, excuse me), and learning respect for people and personal property.
