Las Colinas KinderCare
Overview"What will my child learn at Las Colinas... KinderCare?" This is a question we are often asked by parents of young children as they tour our center. Research has shown that young children learn best through active, hands-on experiences: In other words, children learn by doing. KinderCare Learning Centers provide a curriculum that allows teachers to organize and structure their environment to meet the needs of the individual children in their classroom. We provide activities that promote growth in each of the six developmental domains. Through open-ended activities, we foster creativity and risk-taking, and allow children the opportunity to test their ideas. Children develop at very different rates, but they all follow predictable patterns in stages and sequence of development. Development cannot be taught or hurried, but can be guided and encouraged--and that is what we strive to do in our programs. The most important thing we can give a child is a love for learning. So, at Las Colinas KinderCare, children are encouraged to become independent, self-confident, enthusiastic, and inquisitive learners. They are encouraged to think for themselves, make decisions, develop problem-solving skills, and communicate their ideas. The teachers all share the same passion and commitment to the education of young children. We provide a strong foundation for our children and prepare them in all areas of development in a loving, nurturing environment where they feel safe and secure.
