Our Mission

It is the philosophy of Small World Child Care Center that children are unique individuals who deserve a warm, secure environment that promotes a sense of joy, curiosity, and discovery in learning.

We offer care for children three months to five years, and encourage children to develop socially, intellectually, and creatively as they grow. We value an inclusive environment that respects the distinctive qualities of others and individuals' aspects of themselves.

A Day at Small World

Good Morning!

When children arrive in the morning, they gather in the older toddler room to say goodbye to their parents and start playing with friends from all age groups.

Breakfast

Children follow teachers to their classrooms and start eating breakfast — a different option everyday of the week. We have found the children particularly love waffle days!

Play

After breakfast, children start to play with the toys they enjoy. We have many options and teachers change the choices every day. Our sensory bin always creates an interesting environment for children to expand their knowledge.

Circle Time

Circle time! Each toddler and preschool room has its own circle time where children learn new things everyday. Sometimes we take a short trip to the library to read books or play music. And once a week, we are joined by movement and dance specialists.

Fun Project

The children’s favorite time of the day: Project Time! Each room has their own projects. One day it might be learning how to use baking soda, dish soap, and white vinegar to make their own volcanoes and the next day it might be creating an art project based off a book they read in class.

Outdoor Play

If the weather is nice, children play on our outdoor playground. They love running on the little hill and hosting a party in the little house. We have a water and emergency kit onsite in case children get thirsty or injured.

Lunch

It’s lunch time! After playing, children get hungry. Children learn dining manners by eating with their classmates and the teacher.

Nap...

At around 1 pm after the children help clean up after lunch, we get the mats ready and dim the lights. We record the duration of each child’s rest and always have a staff member in each classroom to ensure safety.

More Play

Children enjoy an afternoon snack after they wake up and can join in a variety of activites with their classmates and teacher, such as reading a book, and playing with toys or a board game.

See You Tomorrow

Children end their days together in the older toddler classroom. Parents can come pick them up until the center closes.
