Sunny Side Up we have many special occasions and celebrations.
We provide the children with many experiences to educate the whole child.
Each week our music specialist, Miss Kathy visits our center giving the children an introduction to basic music concepts and working on special presentations with them.
We also provide the children with weekly gymnastics classes taught by teachers from East Coast Sports Gym that is located in North Haven on State Street.
Throughout the year we have various visitors brought in such as magicians, musical artists, puppeteers, etc.
to benefit the children's development. Early Care Learning Center is a child centered facility, where exposure to natural environments promotes independence while strengthening physical, social, emotional, academic, and aesthetic abilities of children, staff and parents.
As we facilitate the skills necessary of the learning process, children are then able to apply their understanding to simulated classroom experiences.
Our strong commitment to our families encourages family literacy, positive relationships with family and friends, and parental enrichment in the field of parenthood and education.
