Our
Staff:
Toddlers Haven
has a very special staff of dedicated, professional teachers and early
childhood education specialists. All staff are fully credentialed in
their areas and have years of real world experience as well. The
friendly atmosphere here makes it a wonderful place to work, which is
reflected in the low turnover rate of the staff.
Our center strives to create a safe, supportive
community where all are valued. The multicultural and inter-racial
make-up of Toddlers Haven is a reflection of this philosophy. Children
are taught through example to have compassion, an empathetic heart, and
to understand that what we say and do affects each other.
The supportive behavior and positive language of
the teachers helps children to feel secure and supports the child's
development of personal integrity. The child is never made to feel he or
she is bad as a person. Teachers encourage responsible thinking by
inviting the child to reflect on better choices when problems do arise
and by encouraging children to repair damaged feelings through apologies
or other appropriate actions. It is our firm conviction that the
self-esteem of each child be upheld.
We invite you to
contact us to
arrange a meeting where you can meet all our teachers/staff and tour our
facility. We are sure you will be pleased with what you learn
about us during your visit.
Best regards,

Toddlers Haven participates in
The Child and Adult Care Food Program - Where Healthy Eating Becomes
a Habit - and our nutritional staff strictly adheres to all guidelines.
Research shows that taking the time to teach and help establish healthy
eating habits early in life has positive effects on a child's health and
well being. The Child and Adult Care food Program (CACFP), a nutrition
education and reimbursement program for licensed family child care homes
and centers, knows this well. Funded by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), the CACFP helps to assure parents that their
children are receiving nutritious meals that contribute to a reduction
in spending on health care and remedial education. Last year, the CACFP
helped child care providers serve nutritious meals to 2.4 million
children across our nation.
To participate in the CACFP, child care providers must serve meals
meeting CACFP meal pattern requirements and allow their center to be
monitored. In addition, participants must maintain menus, meal counts,
attendance records and attend training.
