PHILOSOPHY
EDUCARE is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public
Welfare and is committed to excellence in child care. We are
a child-centered program offering a nurturing environment
with age-appropriate activities planned to stimulate children's
development. Attention is given to all areas of development
(physical, emotional, social and cognitive) through an integrated
approach centered in play.
Our teachers are specialists in early childhood education.
They plan a variety of enjoyable activities for each day that
are developmentally appropriate and foster the individual
growth of each child.
EDUCARE PROVIDES:
A beautiful facility, designed for young
children.
Three acres of spacious, landscaped
grounds for outside play and picnics.
Warm and loving teachers and caregivers
trained in early childhood education.
Developmentally appropriate daily activities.
Breakfast, two nutritional snacks, and a
hot lunch.
Active parent involvement through daily
exchanges with staff and, more formally,
parent meetings, conferences and workshops.
Space for nursing mothers.
Regular field trips and outings.
INFANT & TODDLER PROGRAM
Tadpoles
Our infants are nurtured in their development through activities
in movement, play and exploration.
Guppies
Young toddlers work on emerging language, self-help and social skills are the characteristics strengthened in our toddler group.
Seals
Older toddlers display increasing capacities in curiosity towards everything. The Seals are encouraged to use their curiosity as a vehicle to learning.
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
Please note: Children entering the Preschool Program must be completely toilet trained.
Flounders
Children enrolled in the Flounders group have their language expression and critical thought ability ripened.
Dolphins
This is an activity oriented program which promotes the development of gross and fine motor skills. There are lots of hands-on activities, and teachers work to develop the child's questioning capacities.
Starfish
Our full-day kindergarten program guides children to become more self-reliant and to work independently under the guidance of state certified teachers.
SUMMER PROGRAM
While operating year round, we run a camp-like summer program. Summer enrollment is accepted, when spaces are available, for children from other programs. Our summer program utilizes our spacious property for outdoor activities, including water play. Dolphin and Starfish classes receive an introduction to water safety.
