Getting your preschooler to exercise
Today, preschoolers spend a lot of time in front of the television and the computer, playing games and watching cartoons. In doing so, kids hardly get time to do the thing that they are meant to do %u2013 run, jump, hop, skip and play. Gone are the days when childhood meant running around the woods and exploring the neighborhood. Today, parents are too worried to send the kids next door to play. The downside of all this is that kids, especially preschoolers do not get adequate exercise. (Read more about Getting your preschooler to exercise)

South Boise Child Care Center

Call (208) 333-0550
South Boise Child Care Center was established in 1969, by my mother Betty Flint. I worked along side my mother, caring for children until her passing in 1996, when I took over the childcare center. I have been fortunate to be able to hire mostly family members who share my love for children, and therefore have one of the lowest turnover rates in Boise. I feel this is very important for the kids to have that consistency at their daycare.

 Contact Jean Piaget
Developmental Child Care Center
1211 Tamm Avenue
St Louis,
MO
63119
Call (314) 645-1211
Developmental Child Care embraces a constructivist philosophy based upon the teachings of Jean Piaget. The aim is to develop autonomy. As an autonomous human being, a person is able to eventually decide for herself or himself what is true and what is false, what is right and what is wrong. This happens by taking multiple perspectives into account through interacting with the people and things in his or her world.
Exchanges of ideas and feelings with children and adults are vital to this process. Children are constantly making hypotheses about their experiences, testing them out and then reorganizing their theories based upon the errors they make and the predictions that don't bear fruit. During the day, teachers provoke occasions that cause children to think.
