Shady Lane Child Development Center is a child-centered facility where our every decision is based on what is best for the children in our care. Our program is tailored to meet the developmental needs of young children. Every child learns at a different pace, however, with each age certain tasks must be accomplished that are necessary for development. We provide experiences that enrich and enhance each child’s cognitive physical, creative, social, and emotional development in order to master these age appropriate tasks. Our daily schedule allows every child the opportunity to experience their environment first-hand, learning the skill necessary to solve problems and interact with their peers, establishing the social tools they will use for the rest of their lives. Through solitary play and group activities our children develop a positive self-concept that is reinforced by constant praise and affection. Our staff serves as positive role models supporting the idea that children learn by example. We believe family is important and value parents and primary caregivers as the most important teachers in their child’s life.
