Daycare in Sioux Falls, SD
Daycare in Sioux Falls, SD
What sets us apart from other centers in Sioux Falls?
More personalized care. Smaller classrooms.
Not only do we have significantly lower ratios, but we also have far less students in each classroom. Some centers may have similar ratios, but they squeeze 10-30 kids in a room. When we say x:y, we mean that there are only y amount of students in one room. This personalized small group care cannot be found at any other center in Sioux Falls. We accomplish this through our smartly designed modular rooms and our designated staff.
Better education, more qualified teachers.
We hire only experienced teachers who have degrees or certifications in education. We put a huge emphasis in continuing education and provide training that far exceeds the state requirements for all our staff. Many centers are simply daycare centers. The "teachers" are not required to have anything but a background check and a CPR class. Our leads and our preschool teachers all have degrees or certifications in early childhood education.
We value our employees!
Better opportunities for our staff. After all, they deserve it! They have a large role in caring for God's greatest blessings and our greatest assets... Our Children! We believe we cannot provide exceptional care for students without exceptional staff. We also believe taking care of our staff is our obligation as an employer. Better pay, better benefits, better teacher environment, culture, and career development opportunities is what we provide our staff. That in turn means more educated, qualified, inspired and energized caregivers for your child! We believe the only way to provide exceptional care is with an exceptional staff!
Better educational experience for both children and parents.
Designated teachers work FT to ensure your preschool child has the same teacher throughout the day. This allows our teachers to really get to know the children in their care to provide the most customized care possible, as well as exceptional communication with parents. No more dropping your child off to one teacher and picking them up from another, with no one to give you a straight answer about how the day went. The teacher is available nearly open to close to provide education and care for your child and excellent communication to you. In addition, we provide continuous updates throughout the day via our parent app and host conferences and parent nights to keep you involved with your child's education.
Better Nutrition. A Better Example.
We provide not only more nutritious lunches, but a hot breakfast and a hearty snack. You won't find cheese balls and french toast stix on our menu, only nutritious, well balanced and fresh meals prepared on-site by a designated chef! We encourage kids to learn better eating habits, as well as develop a family-style setting for personalized conversation and learning. Each classroom eats at their own table, family-style, with their teacher just like your family would do at home. We encourage conversation, teach about good eating habits, and promote age-appropriate manners.
Better exercise and fun.
State of the art equipment. Indoor splash pad and interactive learning center. Children experience fun in the water year-round as well as with our interactive floor games which keep kids on the move and learning. Interactive wall boards promote STEM learning. Our large outdoor play area with multiple learning activities provides fun and exercise while promoting music, social, motor, and cognitive skills.
Better expanded education.
Designated art gallery and activity room for arts, crafts, science, sensory, and math projects, and a designated library to foster reading and language skills. Other centers have books and art rooms; we set aside very designated and planned out curriculums in these rooms and even have a designated extra teacher to facilitate these activities.
Better pricing model.
More convenience for parents. All-inclusive pricing! We don't charge extra for anything: meals, shirts, field trips, swimming passes. Many centers' rates go up significantly when you factor in all the additional items you may be charged for such as meals, before/after school care, field trips, supplies, and registration fees. We even provide swimsuits, tote bags, shirts, shoes, and sleeping materials, plus we wash them! No more dragging bags home to wash and remembering to bring it back or what day to bring a special item. We are full-service when it comes to providing everything your child needs to participate for the day.
