Nurturing Young Minds for a Brighter Tomorrow
We are a child-centered, play-based facility dedicated to providing high-quality childcare and preschool services to young children aged 12 months to 12 years. Our mission is to serve the families of Latonia and the surrounding Covington community by offering a nurturing environment that fosters the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child.
Our Approach
At Funshine Child Care, we believe that children learn best when they are encouraged to explore, observe, and socialize with other children. Our curriculum is designed to allow children to make choices and set their own goals, promoting a sense of autonomy and independence. We also believe that cooperation is more conducive to learning than competition, and that education is an ongoing process that is enhanced when the child, teacher, and family work together.
Philosophy
Our approach is based on the HighScope principles, which emphasize the importance of active learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Our curriculum is designed to follow the Kentucky Early Learning Standards and provides children with the opportunity to explore, observe, and socialize with other children in a structured environment. We believe that children learn best when they are encouraged to ask questions, make conclusions, and develop independence.
Assessments
Throughout the year, children will develop skills in various areas, including language, literacy, math, science, and social-emotional development. We also conduct ongoing curriculum-based assessments to inform individual and group instruction. Progress reports and checklists are used to track a child's growth and development, and we share our assessment results with parents two times a year at our parent-teacher conferences.
Enrollment
We invite families to schedule a tour of our facility and learn more about our programs. All tours must be scheduled in advance, and a photo ID must be presented upon arrival. All children must have an up-to-date immunization record or a medical exemption form to attend the childcare center. We also offer self-pay and childcare assistance options to make our programs accessible to all families.
Tuition and Fees
We strive to make our programs affordable and accessible to all families. Tuition and fees are structured to ensure that our services are available to families who may not be able to afford them otherwise. We also offer childcare assistance options to support low-income families.
Parent Handbook
We encourage all parents to read our Parent Handbook, which outlines our policies and procedures for childcare and preschool programming. This handbook is designed to provide parents with a comprehensive overview of our programs and services.
Hiring Child Caregivers
We are always seeking dedicated, dynamic, and caring early childhood professionals to join our team. If you are interested in working with young children and are passionate about providing high-quality early childhood education, we encourage you to apply for a position at Funshine Child Care.
