We are a Day Care Center and Nursery School that serves children from two and one-half to six years old. We operate as a form of outreach for the church, meaning that religion is not excluded from our program as in the public school system. Staff and children of all religious beliefs are welcome here, our goal being to support and encourage the diverse ways families worship God. We want children to feel secure in the knowledge that there is a loving God who watches over us all. Teddy & Me recognizes that we are entrusted with a family’s most precious possession, their child. Of first importance to us is to keep the child safe while they are in our care. Second, we strive to make a pleasant environment, as coming to school should be a happy experience, especially for children so young. With this safe and pleasant atmosphere established, we then strive to help the child learn by using appropriate techniques for their stage of development. Teddy & Me Day Care Inc. opened in September of 1985. We employ a certified staff of loving teachers who strive to instill in each child the appreciation of their own uniqueness. The staff makes observations about the children’s development and shares them with the families at two scheduled conferences throughout the year, and less formally on a continual basis. The center is open from 7:00am to 6:00pm. This means that a child could spend the greatest part of their day with us, therefore, our program is of the utmost importance. Each day children are involved in a large number of activities with alternating active and quiet times. We have a developmentally appropriate curriculum that includes the areas of physical, social, emotional, spiritual and academic growth. While the day is carefully planned by the staff, children are able to choose many of their activities, with younger children having a more loosely structured day. Our program offers the best of nursery school with the possibility of an all day format.
