Admission Info & Tuition Plans | Photo Gallery | 2006 Registration Form (76k PDF) Massasoit Community College Children's Center is a licensed campus facility. We service the children of our students, faculty, and staff, providing a safe, quality learning environment in which to grow. Our classroom is designed to be consistent with our philosophy for learning. Its child-oriented design is conducive to creative learning. Keeping in mind the child's physical and cognitive capabilities, the curriculum is constantly being adjusted to suit the needs of the individual child's growth. Children are required to be 2.9 years of age through 5 years of age. Day care slots are available to suit the student's course schedules. Our Philosophy We believe in the full potentialk of the child. Our purpose is not one of fulfilling a "babysitting" need; it is rather one of assisting our parents to reach their potentials with the knowledge and confidence that their child is also reaching their potential. We believe that it is important that parents and teachers share a cooperative role in fostering the growth and development of our children. Our philosophy toward learning is one of discovery by interacting in the classroom environment. Our Specific Goals Emotional - to help each child learn to recognise his/her own feelings and to develop a positive self-concept, confidence and emotional balance. Social - to assist each child to gain an understanding, respect, and empathy for peers and adults and to become a constructive, contributing member of the group living and learning. Creative Growth - to provide an atmosphere where each child's imagination and self-expression are encouraged. Cognitive - to stimulate each child's natural curiosity and sense of wonder and to stimulate a sense of joy in learning. Physical - to develop an awareness and enjoyment of individual physical accomplishments and gain an appreciation of sound health. Teaching Staff The Massasoit Children's Center staff is well qualified and motivated, selected on the basis of rapport, effectiveness with children, educational background, experience and continuing interest in professional development. Warmth, openness, and enthusiasm are characteristics of the Children's Center staff. Parental Involvement Parents and family members are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the Center's program. Communication with parents through conferences, social events, classroom visits, literature and workshops is encouraged. Child Care Education Department The Center is affiliated with the Child Care Education and Administration Associate Degree Program. We are a lab training site for future child care professionals. Students and parents utilize our "observation room" to better understand the developmental milestones of the children in our care. Audio and visual technology are used for education and training purposes. The Massasoit Children's Center is located in the Fine Arts building on the Brockton Campus. It consists of one main classroom with an adjoining resource room. An outdoor play area plus a courtyard for creative adventures is adjacent to the Center. |
