The Caregarden Learning and Developement Center was started in February 2003 by Aaron Simmons. In 2003, Aaron was relatively new to the neighborhood and was trying to find a good childcare facility for his children, and was very disappointed with the options that were available. There were several facilities in the neighborhood, which provided supervision, but did not offer anything challenging in their curriculum. Their prices were cost prohibitive, and curriculumns seemed not much better than the first group. Mr Simmons then used his prior experience as a teacher and entreprenuer to start the Caregarden to provide high quality education at a reasonable price. The Caregarden has grown from three children in the family daycare that he started to the 63 children facility that now exists. He has worked hard to ensure that his vision for a "caring and nurturing environment for children to grow and prosper in" has been maintained throughout the expansion. The Caregarden, "Where children are nurtured and greatness is grown," invites you to come and take a look at all that we offer.

More on The Caregarden Learning And Development Center:

Services: Preschool Our Infant program provides a comfortable and nurturing environment where language development is encouraged. In our effort to encourage language acquisition, we read and sing to the children. We also expose them to learning Spanish by singing songs and having conversation, as well as learning simple sign language. We have designed our infant program to consistently provide comfort, attention, praise and love. Our infant room is setup to help our infants feel safe and comfortable from our comfortable rocking chair, where the infants are fed. We encourage tactile development through play with stimulating toys and interaction with our staff. We realize that the infant brain actually seeks out and acquires a tremendous amount of information about language in the first year of life. Even before babies can speak, they understand and can communicate a lot. We try to encourage this development by teaching them to baby sign and by singing to them in Spanish. Parents work with their baby's teacher to set their child's schedule to ensure consistency between home and the CareGarden. This also means that parents know the best time to visit during the day. Whether they want to feed their baby or just have cuddle time, parents are always encouraged to stop by. Toddler Young toddlers play and learn in a bright and cheery environment with lots of opportunities for independent exploration. Activities such as circle time are introduced to encourage verbal and social growth. Finger-plays, stories, and songs are incorporated into each day to foster a toddler's awareness of the world around them. Get Set The Get Set program for older toddlers is unique to the CareGarden. The emphasis in this program is socialization and the acquisition of self-help skills, particularly potty training. Although children potty-train at their own pace, the CareGarden teachers and toddler parents work together to provide the best environment for success. In addition, toddlers are practicing hand washing, putting on their coats, picking up their toys, and sharing with their friends.
