I believe that all children are special and unique. It is my goal to provide children with a safe environment that nurtures self-esteem, education/learning and happiness.
Mimi's International Daycare (Les Petites Etoiles) is a fun/Learning based international program run by a multilingual provider on palomino hills Apple Valley Minnesota.
My goal is to provide children a fun and loving environment to flourish, I aim to introduce children to different cultures and languages with parents approval, children will be taught french as a little bonus. AT Les Petites Etoiles, the environment is set up for all children to be taught in three separate but grounded teaching approaches.The High/Scope Approach is one of the approaches used in which children are encourage to participate and be active in their learning/studying with adult interactions and supports; the Montessori Method is also use and in this approach we incorporate the belief in sensory learning in which children are encourage to learn by seeing, smelling and tasting in lieu of simply listening to a teacher/provider; and in the third teaching approach use at Les Petites Etoiles, the Reggio Emilia Approach which News Week once noted of being a school system among the ten best school systems in the world, we incorporate Co construction, working on a project together, teacher/provider and children discuss projects in detail with several questions ask and answered and different ideas contributed in all directions in order to provide an enrich learning experience and way of life to all children and their teacher/provider at the daycare.
Having been raised as a State Department "Brat" with parents stationed at different American Embassies all over the world and later on Marrying A United States Marine, I would love to extend a discount to all military families as a small token of our appreciation for all the sacrifices made on our behalves.
