Salt Lake City, Utah 84107
Our General Philosophy
Our mission is to provide children with the same type of love, nurturing and instruction that a caring parent would give.
Almost Home is a place that looks, sounds, acts and feels like a home, and will always be there for your child. "One of the reasons that we opened up Almost Home Playcare is because we had trouble finding an existing place to take our own son two days a week. We decided that if we could not find a place that would meet our needs, we would have to create that place ourselves.” Jennifer Sorensen
On Discipline:
Spanking or any form of corporal punishment, physical or mechanical restraint, the withholding of food, or any form of emotional abuse is prohibited by anyone on the premises.
On Teaching:
Our philosophy is that a child’s main occupation is to play. Playing is the vehicle whereby children learn, grow and develop. The best place for children to play is in a safe, nurturing, home environment. This environment must include a balance of creative free play and structured opportunities to learn life skills.
We have developed a pre-school curriculum that will prepare children for Kindergarten by teaching the same basic skills that are taught in Kindergarten in public schools. We will be using the Funshine Express Early Learning Curriculum, which focuses on four major areas, which are: LEARN, GROW, CULTIVATE and SUCCEED. Our curriculum may be adapted to meet any special needs that your child may require.
On Toilet Training:
Any children over the age of 4 who are not potty trained will be assessed an extra diaper-changing fee until fully potty trained. This does not apply to occasional accidents
