Something to know about us

Our Goal

Our goal is to provide a safe and happy place for children. Communication between parent and provider is very important. The development of a strong self-esteem is also a major goal. Children will be taught to respect themselves and each other.

Our Philosophy

The philosophy of Olive ChildCare Center is based on the belief that each child is a worthy individual endowed with certain unique capacities and talents. A warm, loving environment, combined with a well-trained and creative staff, stimulates a child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to provide quality care to children in a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment..

Programs and Curriculum

PROGRAMS

The programs are designed according to the age groups and meet the individual needs of children and give them freedom to learn in meaningful way.We believe that all children are talented, and learn the best when the learning is fun.

Infants

Our staff ensures that infants receive individual feedings and attention. Experience nurturing care in a warm, secure environment. Loving teachers care for your child and guide them toward developmental milestones. The program is designed to have as much teacher/child contact as possible. Each child is fed and takes naps according to his or her established routine.

Toddlers

Our teachers understand the toddler development stage. They provide individual attention and help toddlers in positive ways to accept limits and frustrations. A variety of toys and equipment to help build motor skills and muscle strength are available as well as materials for imaginative play. Teachers also read to children individually and in small groups.

Two Year Old

The Early Preschool program is designed to help your energetic, curious child achieve their independence. We help them develop emerging mental and physical coordination, as well as cognitive and social/emotional skills.
There is also a focus on essential life skills to prepare for academic life and the future:

  • Focus and self-regulation.
  • Critical thinking.
  • Taking on challenges.
  • Self-directed, engaged learning.

Our preschool program creates an environment that encourages curiosity and offers challenges to stimulate development. The daily schedule provides activities that include indoor/outdoor play, quiet and active times and projects to enhance large/ small muscle development. The curriculum helps children build social and self-help skills as well as advance their physical, creative and intellectual development. Teachers also read to children individually and in small groups.

Testimonials

The teachers and staff are absolutely incredible. My daughter has been attending school since toddler daycare and is now in the early preschool program. Every step of the way the teachers have been so supportive, loving, and kind. Our daughter loves going to school and has thrived so much emotionally and mentally under their care. My hat goes off to everyone at Olive Child Care from the teachers to the supervisors as I continue to be impressed and relieved that we chose the right school. Having only 1 child it was hard letting go in the beginning, but now see sending her to La Petite as the best choice we ever made. Thank you for all you do for our daughter!!
What a great place to start.
