Kids R Kids of Bogart (Athens, GA) Important Phases of Child Development

Preschool and the four phases of early childhood development

At Kids R Kids of Bogart, preschool is just one of the four phases vital to your child’s development. The phase that follows this is the school phase. The two phases preceding preschool, which are arguably the most important but often get overlooked, are the infant and toddler stages.

If your child is not being stimulated according to a well thought out curriculum during the first 5 years of his or her life, the first three phases, chances are that he or she will have learning related difficulties in later life - a fact to which child psychologists will agree. A well thought out curriculum, like the Kids ‘R’ Kids Brain Waves Curriculum, will support the growth of neural pathways through play-like activities, and so ensure that your child develops the necessary language, social-emotional, cognitive and physical abilities.

The infant phase starts at 6 weeks and ends when your child turns one. For most of this phase, a child is not yet ready to partake in a group activity and needs individualized care and attention in order to develop adequately.

The toddler phase runs from one to two years of age and there needs to be a strong focus on experimental learning (learning through trying). Keep your child’s natural curiosity in mind in order to make certain that he or she develops the necessary ability to gain understanding of his or her surroundings through asking questions.

From two to five, your child is in the preschool phase and needs to be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, namely elementary school. The focus here needs to be primarily on character development, self-confidence, vocabulary, problem solving and decision making skills.

Kids R Kids of Bogart (Athens, GA) Time to Choose A Summer Camp

Kids R Kids Summer Camp is Great!

Kids R Kids of Bogart (Athens, GA) says it is time to choose a high quality Summer Camp for your child. We encourage all parents to research summer camp programs to find the one that best suits your child's needs. We are confident that you will choose Kids R Kids of Bogart!

Summer Camp, Choose Safety

Thoughts of summer time generally conjure up images of sun-filled days. But, when it comes to finding a summer camp for school aged children or toddlers, some parents are overcome by anxiety. Many working families are faced with a child care void and will be seeking full-time supervision for their children. Others will be looking to find a place to enhance a specific skill or interest that their child has demonstrated. Some may want to let their child explore their independence in an overnight setting. For the brave, it is a patchwork of all of the above.

Often, parents unknowingly make the assumption that all camps are regulated and operating by safety guidelines to protect their children. Unfortunately, many in Georgia are not. Additionally, we know from experience that summer time can hold the biggest risk and highest injury rates. It stands to reason that the more active children are, the more vulnerable they are to bumps and bruises. That’s why we believe that parents should be aware that not all camps are licensed child care programs which adhere to state mandated rules for health, safety and supervision.

Hundreds of camps across the state operate without any state oversight by the Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) or accreditation from the American Camping Association (ACA).

Licensed camps focus on safety

· Background checks, fingerprinting are required; no person with a criminal history is employed

· A lead teacher or camp counselor must have a Child Development Associates Credential, Technical Certificate of Credit in School Age and Youth Care or an Associate Degree in Early Childhood or Childcare

· Teachers, counselors must be at least 18 years of age

· At least half of the staff is CPR/First Aid trained and at least one trained counselor must be on hand wherever children are present (All of Kids R Kids staff is CPR/First Aid trained!)

· The maximum counselor/child ratio for children age 6 and older is 1 to 25; (Kids R Kids of Bogart maintains a much lower staff/child ratio!)

· Meals and snacks must meet USDA nutritional guidelines and children and staff are required to use proper hand washing and sanitary practices

· Equipment and toys are inspected to be safe, clean and must be free from hazards

· Drivers must be at least 18 years old, have current CPR and First Aid certification and all vehicles undergo annual safety inspections and are equipped with proper safety restraints as mandated by the National Highway Safety and Federal Transit Administrations

· Licensed programs are subject to unannounced visits by state inspectors at least twice a year
