BUENA VISTA CHILDREN'S CENTER INC

OUR CENTER MUST BE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILDREN. THE ACTIVITIES OFFERED TO THE CHILDREN MUST BE AGE-APPROPRIATE, STIMULATING AND FUN. WE PRESENT A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES THAT THE CHILDREN CAN CHOOSE FROM EACH DAY. WE MUST BE PROFESSIONALLY STAFFED WITH QUALIFIED TEACHERS AND AIDES WITH APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE AND PERSONALITIES. ALL OUR STAFF MUST BE FINGERPRINTED AND HAVE CLEARED BACKGROUND CHECKS IN ORDER TO WORK ON THE PREMISES. OUR FACILITY OPERATES M-F, 7 AM - 6 PM. WE ARE OPEN WHEN THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED DURING VACATION BREAKS AND IN-SERVICE DAYS SO THAT PARENTS CAN WORK WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN. ALL ACTIVITIES ARE CHOICE-BASED FOR THE 1ST-5TH GRADERS AND PLANNED FOR THE KINDERGARTNERS. OUR CURRICULUM IS MULTILEVELED AND HANDS-ON. THEMES FOLLOW WHAT IS CURRENT IN OUR STUDENTS' SOCIAL AND ETHNIC LIVES AS WELL. WE STRIVE TO MEET THE GOALS WE'VE SET TO MAKE THE CHILDREN'S EXPERIENCE A POSITIVE LEARNING AND SOCIALIZING EXTENSION OF SCHOOL.
