In our joyful, safe space, your child will thrive under the guidance of dedicated educators who champion diversity, creativity, and inclusion.
Unlocking Potential Through Creative Arts and Play-Based Learning
The first five years of a child’s life are crucial for brain development, and our curriculum reflects that. Stokes Family Childcare places a strong emphasis on Creative Arts, encouraging children to explore their imaginations through music, visual arts, storytelling, drama, and dance.
We integrate this focus into a play-based learning philosophy, ensuring that purposeful play nurtures essential academic skills alongside social, emotional, and cognitive growth. In our small group setting, every child receives personalized attention while benefiting from collaborative learning experiences.
The Power of Play
Research proves that children learn best through play. Our play-based curriculum provides engaging, fun opportunities for children to develop across all learning domains. Through both individual and group activities, children build confidence, strengthen social skills, and discover a love of learning.
Bilingual Education:
Opening Doors to a Multicultural World
In today’s global society, being bilingual is a gift. At Stokes Family Childcare, children are introduced to both English and Spanish, enhancing their language skills and preparing them for a world rich in cultural diversity. Bilingual education fosters cognitive development and builds cultural appreciation, empowering children to thrive in any environment.
Safety, Well-Being, and Nutrition
Your child’s safety and health are our top priorities. Our childcare space is clean, hygienic, and designed to promote healthy development in a cheerful, organized environment. We also provide nutritious meals and snacks—breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included—because a well-fed child is a happy, focused learner.
A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
At Stokes Family Childcare, diversity is not just celebrated—it’s a cornerstone of our program. We create an environment where children learn empathy, kindness, and respect for all cultures. Through our Creative Arts curriculum, we honor every child’s unique perspective and nurture an inclusive spirit of acceptance.
