The value of Stages Childcare Centers
can really be felt in the classrooms themselves. No matter
the age, the teaching and administrative teams have developed
an age-specific curriculum - even for babies. We accept
children ages six weeks to 12 years. Since no two children
are exactly alike, no two children learn the same either.
Every child learns at a different level and at Stages,
we are able to strike that balance.
Teacher/Child Ratios:
The state requires that infants from six-weeks to approximately
one year have a ratio of 1:5 or 2:10. For toddlers we
operate at a 1.7 or 1.8 based on age level in the classroom.
In our preschool we currently run a 1:12 or 2:24 ratios,
and our pre-k 1:14 or 2:28, and our schoolage program
1:18 or 2:36.
Daily Communication:
The
Stages staff is big on daily communication and also stays
in touch with parents through a monthly newsletter and
regular progress reports. We give our passionate teachers
ownership of their classrooms and as a result, delightful
and engaging programming becomes a part of each child's
day. One day the tooth fairy might visit, the next it
could be a mailman.
Summer Camp:
Summer
Camp is offered for all ages, with days filled with swimming,
field trips, railway rides, lunch cruise and much more.
We want to keep our kids challenged over the summer.
