Lynda's Family Daycare, Clinton

Our main goal is to improve social skills, and encourage creative expression in a safe and nurturing environment. We will utilize a variety of activities to accomplish this goal. Free play, computer programs, reading, arts and crafts, music/singing, dancing, puzzles, and educational TV/videos are just some of the activities we will be doing. ABC Mouse will also be included in our daily learning skills. Music helps to develop young brains and will play a strong role in day to-day activities. We may have special music activities and may also play music during other activities, for example, during arts and crafts or meal times. Some of the music we will be using may include, classical, children's songs, foreign language tapes and others. Television will be used as a tool to help children unwind and relax. We usually watch no more than one hour of educational television per day on inclement weather days. Viewing will be limited to PBS and child-friendly, educational-style videos, such as Barney. We carefully screen everything the children watch, and watch along with the children. We avoid any type of graphic images, potentially frightening images, unpleasant language, etc. We know that young children are extremely impressionable.
