VIVI’S CHILD CARE is dedicated to providing a sound early childhood program for children, ages 12 months to 5 years old, which meets their social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs in a safe, homelike, and loving environment. The unique characteristics of each child are valued at our Center. Each child's interests and developmental stages are nurtured by our well-trained and talented team of early childhood professionals. At VIVI’S CHILD CARE, we enjoy and appreciate children - their diversity, their challenges, and their successes. Our Center is a place where all children are respected and loved. The school space becomes an educator itself, a place in which to cultivate the potential of each child, a place that requires care and planning so that it can offer the best opportunities for the development of the personality and skills of each child.

We believe childhood should be a time of great joy, love, and exploration. Our curriculum is based on our teachers' knowledge and the particular needs of what is meaningful for each child. It emerges from the combination of teacher direction and the children's interest. Our early childhood professionals plan and prepare a program that is developmentally appropriate and maintains a professional commitment to the APPLE accreditation criteria.

A developmentally appropriate program consists of hands-on experiences, age-appropriate play, activities, and materials and provides the foundation for learning and early literacy. Unlike formal instruction that focuses exclusively on academic skills, our play-oriented activities offer choices to children in a learning environment that supports and fosters their freedom of expression, growing independence, and  a positive self-esteem.

Our childcare philosophy is based on flexibility and choice for children. The Center respects and accommodates the individual developmental levels of the child; we do not expect children to mold themselves to fit a prescribed plan of development. Discipline is approached in a positive manner with the goal of helping children learn self-control and problem-solving strategies.

Excellent communication is a top priority at VIVI’S CHILD CARE. With daily communication through conversation and written notes, the staff and parents form a team to help each child’s day run smoothly. In addition to regular communication with parents, our Center produces a monthly newsletter. Parent get-togethers and workshops are also sponsored by the VIVI’S CHILD CARE. Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classrooms and are always welcome at VIVI’S CHILD CARE.

VIVI’S CHILD CARE admits children and employs personnel without regard to race, color, creed, gender, religion, or national origin.
