Kids First Early Childhood Enrichment Center is located in the beautiful northwest corner of the state of Connecticut, in Torrington. Our classrooms are filled with natural light and are bright, comfortable, and inviting spaces. Our enrollment is comprised of children who are three to five years old, and our class size never exceeds twelve. At Kids First, we know that learning is easier when you have excellent teachers. Our staff holds a minimum of CDA degree with at least five years teaching experience. As the Director/Head Teacher, I have a Master's Degree in Education, and over twenty five years in the field of early childhood education. In addition, I am a state certified Connecticut classroom teacher, Kindergarten-Grade six, and have a certification of Integrated Special Education from Nursery School - Grade three. At Kids First, we work collaboratively as a staff, and recognize the importance of collaborating with parents to provide the most comprehensive learning program for the children and families we serve. We are passionate about early childhood education and we bring this enthusiasm into our lessons.
At Kids First, we believe that children learn best when they experience their learning in a way that is relevant and meaningful to them. Children learning through play is how we think children learn best. We utilize the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards to plan and guide our rich learning experiences that meet the individual needs of all children in the program. Learning at Kids First occurs during all parts of the day. Through guided explorations, children are immersed in science, nature, language, literacy, creative expression, dramatic play, art, music, and movement classes that are all part of our day. We spend time outside in all types of weather. Transitions and mealtimes are planned in advance so that children know what to expect. We believe that when a child's individual needs are met, optimum learning occurs. Individual attention in a small group setting, where parents are valued as partners in their child's education, is what your child can expect at Kids First Early Childhood Enrichment Center.
Our vision At Kids First Early Childhood Enrichment Center is to create a high quality, individualized learning environment, where all children will thrive and flourish, become avid learners, and no child will ever be lost in the crowd.
Our mission at Kids First Early Childhood Enrichment Center is to provide a high-quality child-centered early childhood education that is based on the individual needs of our students. We believe that children learn best through play, and learning experiences should be hands-on. Emphasis is on educating the whole child which includes the cognitive, spiritual, and social and emotional development of every child. Our staff creates a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where collaboration is encouraged. We believe that parents are experts on their children, and are thought as true partners in their child's education. At Kids First, we recognize that all children possess unique God given gifts and talents that should be respected and nurtured. As a result, children gain a solid foundation and the confidence to develop a true love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Kids First Early Childhood Enrichment Center will offer your child a small group setting where his/her individual needs will be met.
