At Susanna Wesley Child Care Center, we provide a secure and safe learning environment as well as a loving, nurturing, and atmosphere in which children can grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually through developmentally appropriate practices.
Children learn through play and we create a climate that encourages exploration, experimentation and creativity. Special attention is given to foster confidence and a love of learning. Our experiences at Susanna Wesley Child Care Center are full of hands-on activities that encourage children to be active and creative explorers. Skilled teachers facilitate the learning to help each child try their own ideas and enhance their thought process. Our teachers are committed to preparing our students for the rigors of today's elementary school programs by including lessons that are in line with the Kansas Early Learning Standards and Kansas Kindergarten Standards. Portfolios containing anecdotal records, work samples, and developmental checklists are kept on each child. This documentation helps teachers to plan for the individual child as well as for the group as a whole. Teachers can present additional challenges to assist individual children in developing their skills further. The way teachers plan, organize the environment, and select materials helps to create a relaxing, non-stressful yet challenging school experience where children can learn at their own stage of development. Teachers share successes and concerns with parents on a regular basis and during scheduled parent-teacher conferences twice a year. We receive grants and assistance to further our mission from these organizations:
