|
We believe in the importance of family and significance of our security and love needed in a child's life and therefore work to meet the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the children. Each child is seen as an individual personality. We work and play with the children on an individual and group basis.

What Should I Bring?
|
We ask that you come each day with a smile!
Also bring appropriate clothes to play and learn in. If the weather is nice we will go outside to play on the playground, go for walks on Maple Lawn's nature trails, visit our older friends at Maple Lawn, and other fun things.
We ask that you bring a change of clothes to Noah's Ark to keep in you cubbies. Accidents do happen and we want you to feel comfortable if you would spill something on you.

My Class
|
 |
|
We have three classes for the daycare children.
We have a room for the two-year-olds, a room for the three-year-olds, and a room for the four-year-olds. In the four-year old class, the teacher is working hard at preparing the children for kindergarten.
We have a preschool program that includes a class for 3's which meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00-11:30 a.m. and a class for 4's that meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00-11:30 a.m.
We also care for children in a before and after school program for children ages 5 through 8. We provide transportation to school in the mornings, and the school district buses them to Noah's Ark in the afternoon. We also provide care for the school children when school is not in session during the school year and throughout the summer.

Who Will Play With Me?
|
|
You will be in a classroom with other children your age who will play with you. Sometimes you will also play with the children in the other classes. You'll get to meet some of the residents who live at Maple Lawn Retirement Community, and make friends with an older person. You will have lots of new friends!
