According to Friedrich Froebel, at Footprints Daycare, we believed that
“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in the child’s soul.”
That in play, children construct their understanding through direct experience with it.
Play is the core foundation of Footprints Daycare. It is understood to be essential to the healthy social and cognitive development of children. It is through playing that the children explore, investigate and learn new things.
We believe that children are curious, competent, full of potential, and born with an intrinsic desire and capacity to learn. Therefore, we create a learning environment that stimulates the children in all five areas of development (social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional).
Classroom Layout
Our preschool is divided into four groups or areas, plus the learning centers. These groups consist of the block area, dramatic play area, book area, and reading area. Our learning centers have manipulative/table toys, sand, water, science, nature, and circle time.
Children can choose the area where they would like to explore the activities. Materials are added in every center, preferably suited to the weekly theme.
Our onsite kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, and fridge. Our washrooms are child-fit with tiny toilets for easy access to children. We also have a diaper-changing station for infants and toddlers.
Our objective is to have a harmonious relationship between Footprints Daycare operators, staff, and parents/guardians. Through this collaboration, we can create a pleasant and vibrant atmosphere for children, providing them a fun and happy environment and making their learning experience more enjoyable.
“HAPPY CHILDREN, HAPPY PARENTS, HAPPY COMMUNITY”
