About ChildKind, Inc. |
|
History:
ChildKind, Inc. originated at Suburban Hospital in 1983 and
was the first licensed center-based infant care program located
in Montgomery County, Maryland. By mid 1985, the parents acquired
ownership and a parent cooperative organization was established.
On July 6, 1987 ChildKind, Inc. moved onto the NIH campus from
a nearby high school. On June 8, 1998, ChildKind, Inc. relocated
to a new modular building on campus.
Philosophy:
ChildKind, Inc. is dedicated to providing quality professional
services to infants and toddlers and their families. ChildKind,
Inc. operates on the principle that infants and toddlers grow
in learning environments that provide experiences aimed at
fostering their development in five major areas:
- SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL - A warm, consistent, and caring environment.
- GROSS MOTOR - Large muscle development and coordination.
- FINE MOTOR - Small muscle development (puzzles, blocks, and
toys).
- LANGUAGE - Communication and listening.
- COGNITIVE - Problem solving and challenges for young minds.
We encourage young children to develop at their own rates.
Developmental screening, daily observations, and parent/family
input provide the foundation for developing individual activities
for children. Our professional educators provide opportunities
for affectionate and stimulating developmental activities.
Throughout the day your child will also experience lots of
nurturing, laughing, smiling, and "conversation".
