Our Mission
Welcome to Alida Family Day Care!
Our goal is to provide children with a loving, nurturing, and safe environment where they can explore, play, and learn. In this environment, children can acquire the necessary ingredients to develop their creativity, social, physical, and intellectual skills through a curriculum designed with age-appropriate activities and materials individually tailored to each child's needs so they can be successful when they reach school age. Our mission is to prepare them for success beyond school age. Each child needs individual attention, and our goal is to work individually on the overall development of each child.
About Us
At ALIDA FAMILY DAY CARE, we are passionate about providing quality education and preparing children for a successful future in school. Our commitment is to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that fosters the holistic growth of each child.
We strive to increase enrollment and strengthen our online presence to facilitate communication with parents. We believe in the importance of working together for the development and well-being of every child.
Our philosophy
Our philosophy is to provide educational services to all types of families and communities regardless of race, religion, or gender. We embrace diversity and ensure fair treatment, understanding, and respect among children, providers, and teachers.
Our priority is to provide an environment that influences and encourages all children to become creative, independent, responsible, and self-directed adults who can make decisions for themselves. Our goal is to meet the needs of children and their families.
In our family childcare program, we value establishing cooperative relationships with parents and working together to meet the children's needs. We provide an environment that stimulates their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical learning through playful activities.
We believe it is important to support and motivate each child to socialize with other children, cooperating and helping each other solve problems in a respectful and tolerant manner.
