Our Approach
Whether it’s full-day childcare, after-school care, developmental preschool or a day or two in our day camp, our program flexibility increases your ability to find the perfect solution to your childcare must-haves. The Platform Daycare and babysitting considers itself a "Partner In Parenting". We know how crazy life can get between work, school, community interests, family obligations, and health concerns – a family can get frazzled. We’d like to be the sure-thing, the rock-steady, the rain-or-shine-thing in your lives. Working as part of your team, The Platform provides thoughtful, high-quality care that is mentally challenging and physically active. We extend our focus to family and school; knowing that it takes a village to create the best possible experience for each child in our care. Creating that special bond with families takes a dedicated staff, progressive curriculum, and a willingness to go beyond the basics. Character development is a critical component of our curriculum and is approached as part of our mission to build children’s social awareness. Traits such as respect for yourself and others, trustworthiness, responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship, and kindness all lend themselves to a better experience for everyone. As a part of Gymnastics World Group, The platform is able to utilize a variety of spaces and equipment not generally available in childcare centers. This environment supports a multitude of enriching experiences very often involving movement. The platform programs incorporate gymnastics, dance, outside activities, and transportation along with stations for arts, crafts, science, cooking, reading, music, homework, and games of all kinds. Add to that our synergetic curriculum that involves field trips and off-site learning opportunities that take the kids out into the community and engaged, enthusiastic teachers and we think you’ll agree that we’ve created a pretty amazing childcare experience. And about that enthusiastically engaged staff; they are not only licensed through the county, are first aid and CPR certified, but receive on-going training on how to work and teach children.
