Providing children with the freedom to learn,
explore and grow.
Research has proven that children learn through play.
At Angels’ Place, children take part in exploring and experimenting with their environment through a variety of activities such as games, manipulative play, creative art, music and stories; all of which meet Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards.
The curriculum for all children enrolled at Angels’ Place emphasizes both literacy and math proficiency including prewriting, social studies, creative arts and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematic) activities.
Programming at Angels’ Place promotes development of the whole child – physical, social, emotional, behavioral, and intellectual. Children are assessed quarterly with the Revised Brigance Diagnostic Inventory of Early Development, Pearson’s Ounce and Work Sampling to ensure developmentally-appropriate growth.
Children begin learning immediately after they are born and take in the world primarily through their senses. At Angels’ Place, your infant’s first experience in child care is marked by strong, positive attachments with their caregivers in a safe, engaging environment that nurtures the development of the whole child.
Toddlers, now firmly entrenched in their independence thrive in classrooms with teachers who encourage the children to explore their surroundings and engage with one another in play. Social-emotional skill building is the primary focus in our toddler classrooms, helping children learn to express their needs and emotions through their growing language.
The transitional stages between toddlerhood and preschool provides a wide variety of age-appropriate activities, within a routine that provides consistency and predictability and draws from areas of practical and real life experiences. We provide a nurturing, flexible, and calm atmosphere where affection is freely given, self-concept is enhanced, independence is encouraged and expectations are made clear. We encourage social development through cooperative play.
Children in our Pre-K program focus on kindergarten readiness skills, such as counting, reading and writing their name, gaining spacial and body awareness, and developing their social and emotional competence. As their independence grows, they are encouraged to explore the world around them through ongoing investigations of interest-based topics. They form strong friendships that flourish with their exponentially growing social skills and cultivate a love of learning.
