 QUOTES 

 

Let nature be your teacher. 

William Wordsworth

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.

Fred Rogers

You are troubled at seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Is it nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy as now.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

Leo F. Buscaglia

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

The creeping culture of risk aversion and fear of litigation...puts at risk our children's education and preparation for adult life.

Judith Hackitt

The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.

When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.

At Green Sprouts we offer two meals over the typical snack/lunch/snack. Meal times begin around 10:15 and 2:00 daily and the children are given 30-40 minutes to eat during meal times. All food groups are served at each meal. Infants adjusting to daycare are fed on demand until they are in sync with the daycare routine. There is always room for flexibility and at times we do eat three or more times depending on outings, routine and level of physical activity. At Green Sprouts, I like to be creative in the kitchen and not adhere to a strict menu. I prefer to base the day’s meals off of what supplies I have on hand, the weather, season and the children’s requests. In order to offer maximum variety and freshness to a small group flexibility is needed to ensure all foods are served when they are fresh and ripe. Parents are provided with a sample menu of all the foods/meals that may be served. The day's menu is posted in the front entrance on top of the cubbies.
