CAROL LEONE CHILD CARE CENTER

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS REPORT - "THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY IN PROMOTING HEALTHY CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTAINING STRONG PARENT-CHILD BONDS" - STATES THAT  FREE UNSTRUCTURED PLAY IS HEALTHY AND IN FACT IS ESSENTIAL FOR HELPING CHILDREN REACH IMPORTANT SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONES AS WELL AS HELPING THEM MANAGE STRESS AND BECOME RESILIENT.

At Carol Leone Childcare we provide opportunities for children to develop physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally. Our facility is a unique child care center due in large part to the variety of activities that are available for children. The spacious 45' x 45' spring floor that is used in the evening by our gymnasts provides a large padded area for children to experience physically and mentally challenging activities (such as the Carnegie Science Center's geographical exhibit  shown below) .  Bad weather outside - no problem -  we have plenty of room indoors for a child's daily dose of physical play. In addition to the spring floor, we have an additional 2,000 sq/ft of space where the children can ride bikes, swing, jump on a trampoline, play on mats or whatever their imagination suggest.
