Our Mission Statement Lena Sears mission is to take advantage of the teachable moments that happen everyday by focusing on the creative, social, emotional and physical growth and development. Our children inspire a lifelong commitment to learning. A caring cooperative Daycare center environment promotes cultural values and supports positive relationships and respectful interactions. We will provide an environment that allows children to learn by hands-on-experiences to more abstract concrete development. Our priority is to provide a healthy balance of child-directed and teacher-guided activities, as well as time for children to work individually, in small groups and in large groups. We believe that a stable safe healthy comfortable and culturally relevant environment is crucial to a child’s growth, provides a child-centered curriculum directed by teachers in which children are encouraged to construct their own knowledge. We believe that Lena Sears program reflects the need and goals of children and families. We look forward to working closely with our families to provide quality care and learning for the children.

The Environment Rating Scales(ERS): Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ITERS-R) and Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale-Revised (FCCERS-R) are designed to assess quality in an early childhood or school age care group. Quality consists of the various interactions that go on in a classroom between adults and children. ITERS-R and FCCERS-R also assess the interactions children have with the many materials and activities in the environment. For more information on ITERS-R click here. For more information on FCCERS-R click here.
