The Children's Learn and Play DayCare
Where Learning Is Fun
Located in Salisbury Township in Allentown, PA,
The Children's Learn and Play Daycare is a registered Family Day Care home that provides dependable early child care for infants to school-age children. It is in a small group, famly oriented setting where the children have the advantage of receiving constant, loving care and attention, and parents are updated on their child's development on a daily basis. There is a large outdoor play area where the children can develop their gross motor skills. Emphasis is placed on learning social skills through interacting with peers during free play and group activities. The curriculum is designed to develop cognitive and fine motor skills through circle time, crafts and projects.
The philosophy of The Children's Learn and Play Daycare is that every child is an individual who has his/her own rate of physical and cognitive development. Each child is accepted, loved, nutured and taught as an individual. The goals of the daycare are to encourage and build each child's imagination and creativity, encourage self-confidence, and provide a safe and healthy environment for the child's physical development.
