Our Mission
Children become engaged in learning experiences when given materials that are hands on. This gives them several ways to learn about the world and to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. Our educators recognize that each child has a unique set of abilities and needs and learns at their own pace.
We foster children’s exploration, play and inquiry by providing a variety of activities and an environment rich in content that encourages choices and active play supported by qualified, attentive, and interactive Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE).
With time each day devoted to building on recent observations of the children’s interests, areas of strength and need, the teachers are able to tailor programming choices to the changing needs and development of the individuals within the group. This allows for planned opportunities for practice and review of mastered skills ensuring that each child will have the opportunity for success and to be challenged.
Our Curriculum
Play is the cornerstone of our curriculum – understood to be essential to the healthy social and cognitive development of children. Our curriculum takes a child initiated, adult-supported approach that focuses on play-based learning, allowing the child to take the lead and then focusing on their interests through intentional observation, interaction and engaged communication.
When this approach to learning takes place along with educator’s understanding of child development, each child’s learning and individual development is supported and as a result the child’s competence, capacity and potential are maximized. Staff, students, and volunteers view children as being competent, capable, curious and rich in potential.
Our qualified teachers observe each child’s daily interactions and interests and tailor a program around these observations.
Features
Exclusive to Bennington Heights Child Care, our teachers have designed a Reading Program that combines various teaching practices and tailors it to each child individually. Developed by one of our teachers to help her own daughter learn to read, our Reading Program encompasses a variety of ways to foster, refine and strengthen the skills necessary for early reading. Every week, we work with each child individually using resources assembled that focus on skills like visual discrimination, decoding, print awareness and memory/recall that are needed for reading.
In addition to providing an enhanced program tailored to the children’s interest, BHCC provides additional program features to further enrich and engage our little ones.
