Quality Children Education
The Pooh Bear Daycare Features & Values
Every day healthy meal
Our program will provide breakfast, an Am snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and a PM snack. Milk or
juice is served with all the meals and snacks, and water is offered throughout the day. The meals and snacks
for each week constantly vary to ensure the children receive a well-balanced diet. The children are offered
the food, encouraged to eat, but will not be forced to eat.
In conjunction with the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), our goal is to offer enough, fresh,
and appropriate nutritious meals and snacks to the children in our care, as nutrition is a vital part of a child’s
health. Forms for the food Program will be availed upon enrollment for parents interested.
Children should not bring food except in case of allergies or special diets prescribed by a physician. A
doctor’s note is required for all food brought from home, including special milk and snacks. Food allergies
can be life-threatening, and each child with a food allergy should have an action plan for emergency care
completed by the family physician.
Weekly/monthly menus are posted on the bulletin board and are available at the beginning of every
week/month. All food products are purchased weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. The perishable products are

About Us
At PoohBear Daycare, we believe that every child deserves a place where they feel safe, loved, and inspired to grow. Our daycare is more than just a childcare facility—it is a home away from home, where warmth, care, and learning go hand in hand. We are committed to providing a nurturing environment that supports the emotional, social, and intellectual development of every child. With a team of compassionate and experienced caregivers, we ensure that each child receives the individualized attention they need to thrive. At Pooh Bear, we cherish every moment of childhood and create a foundation for a lifetime of learning and happiness.
We observe a child’s ability to solve problems, think critically, and engage in age-appropriate tasks. Through play-based activities, puzzles, and open-ended questions, we assess their cognitive development.
- We observe and encourage children’s language skills, including
Vocabulary, listening comprehension, and expressive language. Through conversation,
Story telling, and exposure to rich language experiences, we assess their linguistic development.
We assess a child’s social skills by observing their interactions with peers and adults. We look for abilities such as sharing, taking turns, and empathy. Group activities, Games, and cooperative play provide opportunities for social development assessment.
We observe a child’s emotional expression, self-regulation, and ability to manage emotions. By creating a supportive and nurturing environment, we assess their emotional development and offer guidance when needed.
We assess a child’s gross and fine motor skills through activities that involve movement, coordination, and manipulation of objects. We provide opportunities for physical development assessment during outdoor play, sensory exploration, and arts and crafts
By considering these aspects, we ensure that our educational programs are designed to meet each child’s unique needs, strengths, and interests.
