I believe that children should be allowed to grow at their own pace and to learn in ways that help them become confident in themselves as learners.

My goal to help children learn about themselves and the world around them, and to encourage children to feel good about themselves as learners. These goals guide everything I do in my program. Children at Vika's Garden Daycare are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create in a safe and nurturing environment.

Even from an early age children show preferences for different styles of learning. Some will find it easy to follow verbal instructions, others will learn by “making their own”, while others learn best from someone showing them “how to do it” one-to-one. Lessons at Vika's Garden Daycare address those differences, encouraging the development of the whole child, with activities that involve younger and older students in ways appropriate to their learning levels and styles. For preschoolers, it is too early to speak of critical thinking, but not too early to show them the fun of being involved actively with their world through making decisions.

All children enrolled into my daycare are treated with love and respect and provided with the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of activities. My most fundamental objective is to provide for your child a safe, clean, and loving atmosphere, in which each child will feel he/she is loved, valued, and wanted.
