Little Minnows Learning Center
Hands-on learning in a warm, child-centered environment
Kingman Regional Medical Center sponsors The Little Minnows Learning Center to meet the child care needs of its employees and medical staff. By offering quality childcare services, the center promotes healthy family life.
OUR PROGRAM AND PHILOSOPHY
We believe that nurturing and supporting children's healthy soci-emotional development is our most important job during their early years. We view every experience in daily living as a learning opportunity for young children. We provide a ?hands-on?, play-based environment with the Zoo Phonics curriculum.
We provide space, time, and materials so that children can make choices and actively explore planned learning activities that are age appropriate. Teachers facilitate learning with frequent warm and positive interactions with children.
Each age group follows a daily program of activities that are developed by the teachers with the Center's assistant director and director. We adapt routines to meet individual and group needs, making use of the particular advantages of our class rooms/space, and the interests and talents of our children, families, and teachers.
INFANT ROOMS
The infant rooms provide a safe, warm environment for infants from six-weeks to about twelve-months of age. Our specially trained and experienced staff provide tender care and a variety of sensory experiences for your baby?s development.
TODDLER ROOMS
Our toddler rooms are full of opportunities for curious toddlers (one- and two-year-olds) to explore and learn. Teachers provide gentle guidance and support for emerging self-help skills.
PRESCHOOL CLASSROOMS
Hands-on experiences for three- through five-year-olds in a stimulating child-centered environment. To enhance development , we offer opportunities for active and quiet play, small and large group activities, and interactions with friends and friendly teachers.
SCHOOL-AGE PROGRAM
Children six and over can unwind in a warm, relaxed atmosphere, have a nutritious snack, do homework, or choose from a variety of activities geared for older children. During summer months, a specially designed program offers camp, which includes crafts, field trips, and hands-on exploration of the natural world.
