Is Ready Set Grow the right daycare for you?
The Perfect In-Home Daycare for Your Child's Development
As parents, we all want the best for our children, especially when it comes to their early education and care. If you're searching for a nurturing environment that combines innovative learning approaches with the comfort of home, look no further than Ready Set Grow. This exceptional in-home daycare is revolutionizing child care for children aged 0-12 years, offering a unique blend of Montessori and STEAM curriculum that sets the stage for lifelong learning and success.
A Curriculum That Sparks Curiosity and Fosters Independence
At the heart of Ready Set Grow's philosophy is a carefully crafted curriculum that merges the time-tested Montessori approach with cutting-edge STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. This powerful combination creates a learning environment that not only nurtures your child's natural curiosity but also equips them with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.
The Montessori Advantage
The Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is renowned for its focus on fostering independence, self-directed learning, and practical life skills. At Ready Set Grow, children engage in activities that develop fine motor skills, enhance sensory experiences, and boost cognitive abilities. For instance:
Washing hands, vegetables, dishes, and toys: These tasks help children develop self-help skills while encouraging playful learning.
Sorting and counting toys: Activities involving organizing objects by size, color, or type help in understanding mathematical concepts and developing organizational skills.
Practical life exercises: Children learn to button clothes, tie shoelaces, and pour liquids, fostering independence and confidence.
These activities not only prepare children for everyday life but also lay the foundation for more complex learning in the future. As the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) points out, "Montessori education fosters cognitive development through a prepared environment where children learn through exploration and discovery."

The STEAM Advantage
Complementing the Montessori approach, Ready Set Grow incorporates STEAM education to encourage problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. This integrated approach to learning helps children see the connections between different subjects and apply their knowledge in practical ways. Some exciting STEAM activities at Ready Set Grow include:
Bubble-blowing experiments: These simple yet effective activities help children investigate scientific phenomena and enhance observational skills.
Planting apple seeds: This hands-on activity connects biology lessons with gardening, teaching children about plant life cycles and environmental responsibility.
Using measuring spoons and blocks: These activities help children grasp mathematical concepts like addition and subtraction through visual and tactile experiences.
The integration of STEAM in early childhood education has shown remarkable benefits. According to a study published in the Journal of Research in STEM Education, children exposed to STEAM activities from an early age show improved problem-solving skills and higher levels of engagement in learning.
