>>> ONE OF THE HARDEST DECISIONS TO MAKE AS A PARENT DECIDING WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO SEND YOUR KID TO CHILDCARE.
I AM HERE AT CREATIVE KIDS CHILDCARE CENTER TO CHECK OUT WHAT THEY HAVE.
I WILL GET IT TO WORK AND DOCTOR LAURA DEVI.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME A TOUR?
LET'S DO IT >> LET'S START IN OUR PRE-K GROUP RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE CLASS THEY COME TO YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT EVEN JUST THE SOCIAL SIDE OF IT.
JUST TO PREPARE FOR THE KIDS TO SHARE THINGS LIKE THAT.
VERY IMPORTANT.
>>Brittany: NEXT ROOM.
>> LET'S HEAD TO OUR BABY ROOM.
>>Brittany: HOW O?>> 6.5 WEEKS UNTIL 16 MONTH TRY TO MAKE IT AS PERSONAL AS POSSIBLE FOR THE PARENTS.
THAT WAY IS MORE INVITING ONCE THEY DO THE DROP OFF OR WHEN THEY ENROLL JUST TO COME SPEND TIME WITH THEIR STUFF AND COME SPEND TIME IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
THAT WAY IT HELPS THEM THE FIRST DAY OF DROP-OFF.
>>Brittany: SO WHEN THEY TURN THROUGH THE MOVE UP?
>> YES.
THEY START THEIR FIELD TRIPS AND HERE.
THEY WILL GO VISIT AND GO TO THE PARK.
THEY HAVE BEEN TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM.>>Brittany: WHERE IS NEX >> WAS CHECK OUT OUR TODDLER GROUP.
60 MONTHS IS WORD WE START WITH THETODDLERS .
IT IS SURPRISING.
EVEN WHEN WE DO NAPTIME WE HAVE OUR FULLGROUP YOUR , THEY ALL LAY DOWN AT THAT TIME.
IT IS NOT LIKE YOU HAVE JUST CHAOS.
THE DECENT FRIEND.
IT IS VERY STRUCTURED AND HERE EVEN AS SMALL AS THEY ARE.
THIS IS OUR THREE-YEAR-OLD CLASS.
SINCE CLASS BEFORE THEY GO TO PRE-K.
THERE IS CIRCLE TIME, THE CENTERS, DIFFERENT THINGS AS FAR ATHEY LEARN THEIR LETTERS, WRITING.
THEY START THEIR WRITING AND HERE.
>>Brittany: AT THREE?
>> YES.
THAT WAY WHEN THEY GET TO PRE-K THEY HAVE A HEAD START.
>>Brittany: I LOVE THIS LITTLE SCHOOL.
IT IS SO CUTE.
LIKE I TOLD YOU EARLIER, AS A PARENT THE MINUTE YOU WALK IN YOU CAN TELL WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE A PLACE AND BRING YOUR KIDS HERE.
GOOD VIBES ALL AROUND, OBVIOUSLY.
THE KIDS LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING FUN.
LET'S TALK ABOUT HELPING THEM DEVELOBECAUSE OBVIOUSLY ONE FIND THAT BALANCE BETWEEN HAVING FUN AND ALSO LEARNING AND PREPARING AND GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL.
YOU ALSO FOCUS ON THAT TOO?
>> WE DO.
THERE IS A BIG EMPHASIS ON HOW I WANT THEM TO LEARN.
I WANT THEM TO LEARN IN A WAY WHERE THEY DON'T GET BURNED OUT.
THEY ARE NOT HAVING FUN.
THIS IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN THEM.
ALSO, THINK WITH GROUP ACTIVITIES LEARNING.
THAT MAKES IT COMPETITIVE FOR THE KIDS MAKES IT FUN LIKE A GAME, BUT THEY ARE LEARNING AT THE SAME TIME AND WE STARTED FROM BABIES UP AS FAR AS READING TO THE KIDS.
THAT IS SO IMPORTANT IS THE READING AND JUST THE SOCIAL SKILLS ALONE.
THAT'S HUGE.
ON TOP OF LEARNING.
>>Brittany: LET'S TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE.
>> THEY GO TO SPRING TREAT WHICH IS A REHABILITATION CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY.
JUST LETTING THE KIDS KNOW IS ALL ABOUT HELPING OTHERS.
IT BRINGS THAT AWARENESSTHAT IT IS JUST NOT ABOUT ME.
LET'S HELP OUR COMMUNITY.
>>Brittany: IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOU ALL, IF THEY WANT TO COME AND TAKE A TOUR WITH THEIR KIDS, HOW CAN THEY DO TH
