| Welcome to Little Steps Learning Center website. If you are a parent or look around. Hello, my name is Jessica. I have been in the child care field for 10 years. I am currently licensed in the State of Wisconsin. I care for children ages 6 weeks to 13 years old and for a total of 8 children. I am married with two children, ages 5 and 7. I am a member of NAEYC, NAFCC, WFCCA, and Great Rivers AEYC. PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT It is the goal of the Little Steps Learning Center to promote in each individual child their abilities to be curious, creative and courteous. As a provider it is my goal to provide a safe, stable and caring environment for learning to take place. It is my responsibility to provide age appropriate activities that are creative and interesting in a full range of development areas and to remain informed and updated on new methods through training. It is also my practice to understand that each child is an individual and needs to be respected for their personal objective. It is my belief that by giving children a safe, stable, loving environment where learning takes place through a variety of creative, fun activities the children will meet, if not exceed, their educational, developmental and personal goals. |
| What Children Are Leaning? When I'm getting all dressed up, setting the tables, caring for the babies, Don't get the idea I'm "Just playing." For, you see, I'm learning as I play. I may be a mother or a father someday. When you see me up to my elbows in paint, or standing at an easel, or molding and shaping clay, Please don't let me hear you say, "He's just playing." For, you see, I'm learning as I play. I may be a teacher someday. When you see me engrossed in a puzzle or some "plaything" at my school, Please don't feel the time is wasted in "play". For, you see, I'm learning as I play. I'm learning to solve problems and concentrate. I may be in business someday. When you see me cooking or tasting foods, please don't think that because I enjoy it, it is "just play". For, you see, I'm learning as I play. I'm learning to follow directions and see differences. I may be a cook someday. When you see me learning how to skip, hop, run, and move my body, Please don't say I'm "Just playing". I'm learning how my body works. I may be a doctor, nurse, or athlete someday. When you ask me what I've done at school today, and I say, "I just played" Please don't misunderstand me. For, you see, I'm just learning as I play. I'm learning to enjoy and be successful in my work. I'm preparing for tomorrow. Today, I am a child and my work is play. |
