What Parents Say

  • “The staff at Alaina’s daycare is as diverse as the kids that attend. This is very important to us because it means our son is learning about different customs and languages in a fun environment!”

    Andreas M.

  • "What a great children's center! My son was there from infancy through pre-K and I couldn't have asked for a better environment for him. I always knew that he was safe and well-cared for. The teachers and staff there really bonded with him, and communication was wonderful!"

Sensory Play

Alaina’s

 provides your child with many activities that stimulates each of the senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing and movement. Engaging the senses encourages language development, cognitive growth, large and fine motor skills, problem solving as well as social skills. These influence your child to learn, develop, observe, experience, play, create and explore their world around them.

a

Outdoor Play

Alaina’s

is aware that outdoor play is paramount for the physical development of your child. This part of their day allows for running, jumping, swinging, sliding, climbing, building, discovering, exploring and observing the natural elements of their world. Outdoor activities are essential for the development of not only your child’s large motor skills, but sensory and social skills as well. A great deal of physical, emotional, and intellectual development is taking place, all while your child is busy having fun.

a

Dramatic Play

Alaina’s

appreciates your child’s joy and excitement during dramatic play. This type of play allows your child to create, pretend and play make believe. Children can act out roles and become characters that are outside of their everyday.  During this time a child has an opportunity to become a beloved superhero, role play familiar scenarios, or play quietly. This time allows your child to not only develop their budding creative imaginations, but also their social, fine and large motor skills.
