Safari Childcare recognizes no two families are alike which is why we offer customized programs to meet your family's individual needs. We recognize individualized attention is essential in order to ensure happiness and an overall sense of security for your child. Our infant rooms follow the routines established within your home in an effort to create stability and consistency for your child. Strong communication between parents and teachers is paramount. Therefore, all parents are given a detailed daily note about their child to take home each day. Our teachers are specially chosen for their compassion and genuine love of all children. The time spent during daily one-on-one interactions help your children to feel more relaxed and secure in their surroundings.
Communication vehicles include:
Daily Notes go home every day. Parents know right away about any significant achievements such as first words, first steps, or any special events that took place during the day. Notes also include times that diapers were changed, times that the child slept, and how/what the child ate.
Parent Teacher Conferences take place twice a year. This is a valuable time for one- on-one, uninterrupted dialogue about each child’s progress. Samples of the child’s artwork, writing, and other activities are collected for this occasion. Children are never compared to one another rather the child’s progress is compared to his or her own previous skills throughout the school year. Most importantly, conferences reinforce open communication between parents and teachers.
Parent/ Teacher Social Events include a children’s performance, refreshments, games, and family activities. Please join us for our: Winter Celebration (February), Graduation ceremony, (June) and Halloween Bash (October). These events provide a casual environment for getting to know the teachers and other parents, as well as your child’s school friends.
Parent Board: Each classroom has a parent board, which lists what the children have eaten, their daily schedule, their weekly lesson plan, and any upcoming events or parent involvement opportunities. All classrooms are open to parent suggestions, so feel free to offer comments anytime.
