Growing Tree Children's Center

                                F.A.Q.s

Will you teach my child to read?

Reading is a set of skills and we start

teaching them to even our youngest

students.  We also teach math and science

concepts along with some social studies. 

We gear the teaching to the age group so

it is engaging, stimulating and fun!

 

Will my child be ready for kindergarten?

 

Generally speaking, children who are

self-confident, expect to learn, have been

exposed to the rhythm of language

(singing, storytelling, handling books),have some self-help skills, can successfully separate from their parents, have a sense of responsibility and have some experience being a member of a group – all things we work on every day – will be ready for kindergarten.  Over the years we have received very positive feedback from the parents when their children entered formal school.  Several of our alumni have gone on to attend some of the country’s most prestigious universities

 

What Qualifications do your staff have?

 

The owners/directors both have bachelor’s

degrees in Child Development from San

Diego State University .  Each of the teachers

has a minimum of 20 units of Child

Development and 10 years experience

working with preschool children. 

There is always at least one person on site

who is currently certified in first aid and CPR.

 

What kind of discipline do you use?

 

We have an environment that is set up just

for children.  We strive to have lots of choices and enough materials available to avoid problems.  When they do arise, we redirect the children to more appropriate activities. If we have continuing behavioral problems we consult with the parents and come up with a plan together.

 

But my child isn’t good at sharing.

 

Children this age do not understand sharing. 

We help them learn to take turns.  Everyone

deserves the chance to explore the materials

individually or with a friend.

 

Do they have to be potty trained?

 

No.  When you are ready to work on potty

training we will work on it with you.  We have

lots of experience and lots of ideas to help

you through it!

 

What about Lunch?

 

We provide a morning and afternoon snack.  They usually consist of milk, fruit or juice with crackers, bread or cereal.  Sometimes the children assist in planning and preparing snack.  Lunch comes from home.  We feel that children eat better when they bring their own lunch.  We have refrigerators and microwaves so lunch can be cold, hot or a combination.  What isn’t eaten is sent back so you will know exactly what they consumed.  This also allows us to easily accommodate allergies and special diets.
