The
Butterhill Day School realizes the needs of families are many
faceted and has designed a program to serve as many of these
needs as possible.
Our child care services are a very important aspect of a child’s
development and the child’s family. They are designed
to supplement the love and affection, the teaching and playing
- that the child receives at home. Always, the aim is to contribute
to the happy, healthy development of the child and the well
being of the family.
To this end, the Butterhill program balances:
OUTDOOR WITH INDOOR ACTIVITIES
GROUP MEETINGS WITH PRIVATE TIMES
ACTIVE PLAY WITH QUIET ACTIVITIES
STRUCTURED PERIODS WITH FREE CHOICE TIMES CHILD INITIATED/TEACHER
DIRECTED PROJECTS
WARM PHYSICAL AFFECTION WITH ENCOURAGEMENT TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE.
|
We
encourage children to be independent physically (in dressing,
eating, personal hygiene etc.) and intellectually (in learning
to question and make judgments).
We seek to provide children with a secure emotional base through
lots of loving, individual attention and familiar routines
from which they can learn to respect themselves and others.
We encourage children to be always thoughtful and considerate
through the daily interactions of teachers and children.
The Butterhill Day School is a warm and friendly place to
be for both children and adults. We welcome new people and
new ideas.
