​

Holly's Petite Maison Home Daycare focuses on educating the "whole child", which includes Pre-K concepts as well as social skills, manners, cooperation, self-feeding, table manners, and building confidence and competency. A solid foundation of comfort and trust is required before learning can take place with young children.

​

Inspired by Reggio-Emilia, Creative Curriculum, and RIE Philosophy, the program offers a play-based approach that encourages children to learn skills, strengthen their abilities, and to discover new concepts.

Using Baby Sign Language coupled with words helps enrich vocabulary, expression, and allows children to communicate before they have the words to speak.

​

Art and Sensory Play (sand table, water table, sensory bins): are done weekly with the goal of discovering textures, strengthening hand and arm muscles, developings concentration, and building skills that will aid them in future school endeavors.

Pre-Literacy looks like: having a print-rich environment, reading stories aloud for 30 minutes daily, pointing out letters as they come up during the day.

For ages 0-5:

Math looks like: sorting, arranging, lining up, counting, grouping, counting, sequences, music/songs (memory and sequences).

Science looks like: making guesses, science experiments, cause and effect, blending colors (painting, etc), tasting and trying new things, touching nature items and using them in atypical ways (pinecone painting), and using the 5 senses.
