Hello and welcome to Endless Discoveries Child Development Center! We want to invite you and your child in for an exciting opportunity for growth and development. While your child is in our care they will receive opportunities to promote their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. We will provide a nurturing and caring environment that will offer your child consistency and security. It is very desirable for us to work with each and every family to build a quality relationship that is beneficial to all, especially your child.


Our Philosophy

• Learning through active play
• Fostering an acceptance of self and differences with others
• Developing respect and caring as a result of freedom within limits
• Strengthening a child's development socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
• Providing individualized attention within a group setting.
• Working with parents as active partners in their child's development.

Hours of Operation

Endless Discoveries will be available to care for children from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) recommends a restriction of 10 hours per day for a child in daycare for the welfare of the child. We ask that parents try to follow this recommendation on a daily basis. If your child remains after 6:00 PM, we will charge $5 for every five minutes thereafter, to be collected upon arrival. I know you will understand the importance of this policy, as personnel of Endless Discoveries have family needs to consider also. These hours are closely observed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS), and all parents must be aware of this.


NAEYC Criteria

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is the world's largest organization on behalf of children's educational and developmental needs. NAEYC's high standards for child care centers help improve the quality of safety, equipment, health policies, nutrition, administration, teacher training, ongoing evaluations, parent communication, and developmentally appropriate settings and activities for children. Endless Discoveries is proud to follow this criteria with the expectation of being accredited by NAEYC shortly after our one year anniversary.

Organized Routines

Endless Discoveries believes in having an organized routine on a day-to-day basis. Each classroom has a scheduled time for inside and outside play, which provides a good balance between active and quiet play. By allowing children to have a set routine, they understand what will happen next even though they are unable to read a clock. With that knowledge, children move smoothly from one activity to the next with little problem.

Outside Play

Our playgrounds are designed with your child in mind. We have playgrounds that are stimulating to the young mind and offer a wide range of physical challenges. During the Texas hot summer months, our teachers are happy to put sunscreen on your child as long as you provide the sunscreen and a note for our records. We will refrain from going outside in bad weather, including high temperatures and ozone watch days

Communications

It is our desire to have open communication lines with each of you. Endless Discoveries feels that it is important that we have a close relationship regarding the needs of your child. We hope you will feel free to openly discuss any issues that you might have concerning your child's care in Endless
