Whole Child Learning
Whole Child Learning, What’s That?
At a Munchkin’s Place, we believe in nurturing your child’s creativity through a balance of play and learning. Children are naturally curious about the world around them. The goal of our whole child curriculum is to foster creativity by providing opportunities to explore new things. We keep your child engaged in learning, through a wide variety of learning activities called “The Essentials”. Click on the links below to learn more about our curriculum:

Class Size
We ensure superior care can be given to each child by keeping the class size small. We are licensed for a capacity of 14 children, 2 of which must be enrolled in school and with no more than 3 infants (under 2 years). The children are broken into 2 classes, each with a teacher and an additional assistant as needed. The provider to child ratio is typically at most, 1 provider to 5 children.
Age Range
In order to provide developmentally appropriate care, we only accept children between the ages of 18months -8 years. We break our group into two smaller classes based roughly on age and period of development. Each age range is approximately 2.5 years, and was chosen for specific reasons. We believe this separation provides an opportunity to have positive social interactions and to learn from one another. It also allows us to modify our activities to fit the developmental level of each group. Please take a few moments to read about what is offered to each group:
