Sitter in Centreville, Virginia

At Giggles-N-Scribbles we give special, personal attention to individual child's needs. Our goal is to provide the loving care that children get at home along with teaching basic skills that will become foundation to success. We provide an atmosphere in which children feel secure and comfortable when away from their family & in which they are encouraged to be productive and creative. Along with providing loving day care, we use thematic-based programs that utilize the cognitive, social/emotional, physical and creative developmental areas. By creating an environment varied with interest centers, learning games, class projects and strong teacher support, each area of development are fostered and discovery and learning takes place in an exciting way. The child-oriented educational program provides continuity, shape, and direction to individual interest and explorations. We believe that respecting and encouraging a child's individuality promotes the development of the whole child. As infants mature and become toddlers, we continue to stimulate their senses and encourage them to explore their world. Your child will learn such skills as pushing and pulling objects, turning and bending, sorting objects by color and size, exploring the concept of big and little, and building an early vocabulary. Our programs follow a theme based curriculum that consists of various components: LANGUAGE & LITERACY: Through books, songs and daily activities, we will help your child become comfortable with language and help grow your child’s vocabulary. MATHEMATICS: Hands-on activities enable your child to explore simple number concepts such as one and many, big and little, and simple shapes and colors. ART: Activities that encourage scribbling and using a paintbrush help to develop fine motor skills and aid the understanding of cause and effect. This is when your child’s first masterpiece will be created. MUSIC: Singing songs, playing simple instruments and moving to music will be an everyday occurrence for your child. WELLNESS: Your child will be taking part in many movement activities to assist in refining muscle control. THE WORLD & ME: Your child is beginning the socialization process and becoming aware of others and their feelings. We assist your child in developing relationships through closely supervised group activities. We are located few minutes from all major routes: 66/28/29..., right off Centreville Farms Road.
