Little Crusaders offers unique, developmentally appropriate based programs for children ages 6 weeks - 9 years, that focus on the needs of the whole child physically, emotionally, socially, cognitively and familial. All staff members recognize the importance of the teacher-child interactions and strive to establish and maintain warm and trusting relationships with children and their families. Activities and routines are based on sound developmentally appropriate practices and build on the child's natural curiosity and problem solving abilities. Children participate in many movement, music, play and language activities and have the opportunities to work and play in small and large groups as well as individually. Our child centered philosophy reflects an understanding of the needs of young children. Our programs are designed to provide the best possible learning atmosphere to help children develop cognitive, creative, social, emotional and physical skills. Using a creative curriculum, children are encouraged to develop decision-making and problem solving abilities to enhance self-esteem and independence.Little Crusaders Early Center is Iicensed by The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care
