This daycare is determined to allow children to reach their full potential, while still incorporating christian values into their everyday lives. What sets Gladys Lewis daycare apart for others is the personal touch that its staff are able to provide. Each child is given the individual attention needed to grow in an already nurturing environment. Two core areas of the daycare are:Warm environment: Children in the Gladys Lewis daycare are given a hot lunch everyday with many diverse options. This includes a diverse set of heathy options that allow for a balanced meal. Also, since being rested is also a very important part of a child's well-being everyday there is time set aside for a mid-afternoon nap. One important perk that sets this in-home daycare apart is that it creates a familiar and comfortable environment where the children can relax and enjoy themselves. Mental and Physical Development: Each child in the program has access to a diverse range of toys that are not only fun, but help them to develop strong thinking and dexterity. Toys, including blocks where they can create and use their imagination. Different board and educational games that help to improve early learning and pre-kindergarden skills. Even coloring, counting, and the alphabet are taught so that each child has the best start they can entering kindergarden. In the program children are also exposed to computers which will give them an advantage over other kindergarden students. Finally when the weather permits there is an outside area that includes a playground where the kids can get fresh air and more interaction with their peers.Gladys Lewis Daycare's core principal is to give children everything they need to grow and become more independent as they start their journey into kindergarden and beyond. They are given learning time to help become stronger in basic subjects. We are dedicated to making sure that every child leaves with a positive experience and an advantageous start.
