2011-2012 School Readiness Application

Dooley Child Development Center is a School Readiness Program.  We are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).  Our professional, trained, and skilled teachers focus on every aspect of early childhood learning and development (social-emotional, language, cognitive and physical) providing the children with a solid foundation of skills and knowledge that contribute to their future success in school.

We offer a culturally diverse environment, including English and Spanish speaking teachers.

We believe that positive relationships between children and adults are fundamental to an environment that promotes learning and growth.  Our classroom life is consistently nurturing and filled with learning opportunities for every child.

We also believe families matter, both in terms of influence on their child and as partners with the centers teaching staff, director and agency.  This partnership enhances the quality of children’s experiences.

Our curriculum, Creative Curriculum covers a variety of interest areas with lots of hands on experiences and discovery.  These interest areas are reading, math, science, language, art, problem solving, hand/eye coordination, music and dramatic/social play and teamwork.  We specifically focus on the social and emotional skills children need to succeed in school and in life.  This approach accommodates all children, including those with special needs and second language learners.

It is equally important to develop children’s health and nutrition awareness, which will lead to a life time of good eating habits and healthy bodies.  We offer nutritious and balanced meals and snacks.  Our food program is guided and monitored by the Connecticut Adult and Child Food Program (CACFP).
