future academic success and life long skills.

Will my child be challenged?
We believe that children can be at different levels of
development and the curriculum we offer is designed to meet the
wide range of abilities for all age groups. Our programs are
designed to provide activities and materials to meet the needs
of each child, and to challenge the child at whatever level
he/she is.

What are the teacher's qualifications?
Your child's teacher will meet all of the qualifications
required by your particular state. See your Center Director for
details. All Children's World Learning Center teachers complete
an extensive orientation program and participate in regular
training session on curriculum, child development, and classroom
management.
Top
What will my child do during the day?
Your child will participate in a wide variety of
well-planned, developmentally appropriate activities. For
example, a typical day will include an art experience, time to
work with puzzles or toys that will encourage fine motor
development, music activities, outdoor games and play, science
experiments, and stories. The teacher will provide guidance and
support during these activities. We also focus on helping your
child form friendships and develop a healthy and happy self-image.

Will my child be using a computer?
It is possible that your child may have access to a computer
in the center, if not in their classroom. Children's World
Learning Centers does have software that is appropriate for
various ages of children ready to learn computers. Also, many
centers contract other computer companies to come and provide
computer lessons as a service to parents. Top
What will it cost? What does my weekly fee include? How often
does the fee change?
Weekly fees vary from city to city. Weekly fees usually
include meals, snacks, and the materials used by the children
during the day. Additional fees might be charged for special
programs or field trips. Fees typically are adjusted on a yearly
basis.
Top
Does my child have to eat the lunch and snack that you
provide or can he/she bring in her own?
We discourage children bringing their own because we provide
nutritious, well-balanced, lunches and snacks. We encourage
children to try a taste of each food unless they are allergic to
the food. We never force children to eat and we never use food
as a reward or punishment. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons
(no appetite, illness, etc.) children are not hungry and we
respect this.
Top
How do you safely administer medication?
We require authorization from the parent and physician
(prescription label serves as this on prescription drugs). A
medicine log is kept and only designated individuals can
administer medication. Top
What schools do you transport your school-age children to?
Many centers provide transportation to nearby public and
private schools. Check with your Center Director for the
specific schools in your neighborhood.
Top
Do you have part-time care available?
Many centers offer part-time and flexible schedules. We will
work with you to develop a schedule that will best meet you
family's needs. Top
