About Waikoloa Keiki Daycare

The brain does 75% of its growth in the first three years and a solid foundation is essential. Movements as simple as a newborn turning their head to follow an object you place in front of them helps to develop object permanence. A two year old sorting through blocks provides the perfect opportunity to teach about colors, shapes, quantity and even hand/eye coordination. Playing Ring-around-the-Rosie teaches sequence and teamwork. Our children will have 12+ years of structural learning ahead of them as they grow up. A play based program allows children to continue being children all the while learning by having fun. I encourage learning through laughter with a mess friendly approach! Children are given daily opportunities for age appropriate sensory, gross and fine motor development, literacy, music, child-lead individual and group activities.

 

Pragmatic language is encouraged through labeling emotions and building positive characteristics. At this age, we focus on displaying good manners, respecting our peers, and introducing routines. The only structured schedule we have is morning snack, lunch, naps, and pm snack. Otherwise, we take each day as they come and what we do and the order we do it in all depends on the children. Care is provided between my air-conditioned living room and outdoor play space where your child will have the power to freely explore the world for themselves in a safe and stimulating environment.
