Welcome to For Kid’s Sake Child Care and Learning Center Web
Site!
We are glad you have stopped by to visit. At
this web site you will find an extensive amount of information about
our King of
Prussia, PA care center.
For Kid's Sake Child Care is 'different' in many ways from other
child care centers. This center was founded because a parent could
not find quality care for her son in King of Prussia. The owner
does not come from the child care field, so the center was not setup
based upon the typical child care assumptions. The foundation is
based upon 'how should child care work' combined with some good business
sense. We do our best to provide the highest quality child care at
the most reasonable rates possible. For a
comparison of some of the differences click here.
In the following pages, you will be able to read
a lot about us and our center, but the only way to really know what kind
of care we provide is to come visit and spend some time with us. Every day at For Kid's Sake we strive to create a
warm, caring environment for everyone –-the children, their parents and
our staff. You are welcome to spend a few minutes, hours or days
getting to know us. We encourage all parents to bring their children in
for familiarization visits, to come to our parents meetings, to be
a guest story reader or to just spend a few extra minutes at drop off or
pickup time.
If you have any questions please ask Sandi, our
director or any of our staff members. If you have any suggestions on
how we can improve this web site, our center or other services we can
offer please let us know. We truly want your input. You can email our
Director, Sandi at
Sandi@forkidssakecc.com. We see childcare as a team effort and everyone's
input is important to our success. Though teamwork we all continue our
journey in life - teaching and learning, every step of the way. |

their physical, emotional, social and cognitive developmental needs.

Company Profile
| This center was established in 1992 as a YMCA child
care center. In March of 2000 the YMCA announced they were closing the
center. A parent at the center stepped forward and purchased the
center. On May 1, 2000 the center was renamed For Kid's Sake Child Care
& Learning Center.
Most of the staff stayed through the transition and have stated they
are extremely happy with the new center management. The staff has
grown, as the center has been growing ever since the change over.
We are staffed by wonderful, caring & dedicated team members. Four
staff members have degrees in early childhood education, one has her CDA
and two others are currently enrolled in early childhood education
degree programs.
Biographies of all teachers are posted.
Our Curriculum
|
|
We offer a program that provides a safe and
nurturing environment. We work to promote the physical, social,
emotional and cognitive development of the young children in our care.
Our curriculum is theme based. Teachers come up
with the themes and use them to find activities that meet their
objectives. With themes and supporting help from center management, the
teacher prepares age-appropriate lessons. Weekly Lesson Plans are
posted in each classroom.
Our curriculum
identifies goals in all areas of development:
Ø
Physical:
Helping children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel
confident about what their bodies can do.
Ø
Emotional:
Helping children experience pride and self-confidence. Helping children
develop independence, self-control and to have a positive attitude
toward life.
Ø
Social:
Helping children feel comfortable in school, trust their new
environment, make friends and to feel they are part of a group.
Ø
Cognitive:
Helping children become confident learners by letting them test their
own ideas, experience success and by helping them to acquire learning
skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use
words to describe their thoughts and feelings.
The activities we plan for children, the way we
organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily
schedule, interact and talk with children, are all designed to help give
your child a successful start in life. |
