EDUCATION
‘please,’ ‘thank you’ and ‘finished’ are examples. Spring
boarding on a child’s natural curiosity, play involves direct
interaction with an emphasis on exploration and language
development.
The preschool provides a well-balanced complement
of structure and love. Its environment is clean and bright
with a pod-style connection between the infant nursery
and the toddler rooms. The atmosphere is serene, infused
with elements of nature; fresh scents can be detected from
mild aromatherapy pots as soft music plays. A resource
teacher supports the infant/toddler caregivers, preparing
lesson plans, extracurricular schedules and other items
as needed.
Voluntary Prekindergarten Education (VPK) is a free,
state-sponsored program for four- and five-year-olds who
reside in Florida. Eligible children must be four years of
age on or before September 1. The program assures that
four-year-olds have an edge when they enter kindergarten.
A high-quality early education offers language and
social skills with better adaptation needed for pre-reading,
handwriting, math and science. It also brings out the
inborn sense of wonder in a child and a love of learning,
amplifying intelligence and critical thinking.
Club Pure uses conscious discipline techniques popularized
by early childhood education expert Becky Bailey and
based on current brain research, child development data
and best educational practices. The child is taught how
to self-regulate and is helped to communicate feelings in
healthy ways. Parents who employ conscious parenting
methods often begin when their babies are toddlers.
Through this approach, young children learn core life
