Philosophy & Purpose

The purpose of the Chime Time Children's Center is to meet the educational and child care needs of Melrose and the surrounding communities.

Our philosophy is based on the premise that children have a natural and curious desire to learn. We want to foster this curiosity and desire, while enhancing social, emotional, intellectual, physical and creative growth. All of these foundations are built into our developmentally appropriate curriculum and activities.

We provide a low teacher/child ratio, in a warm and nurturing environment. Children ages 2.9 to 4 years of age are in classes with 2 teachers for 8 to 10 children. Children ages 4 years to 6 years are in classes with 2/3 teachers for 12/15 children.

What Are Children Doing and Learning?

Through a variety of learning centers in each classroom, children are developing the following:

• Feelings of self-worth.
• Discovering rules that govern the world and how, if possible, they can be manipulated.
• Expressing themselves in their own unique way through art, dance, music and play.
• Communicating verbally and through play with other children and adults.
• Gross/fine motor skills.
• Cognitive skills.
• Learning how to wait, share, take turns and listen to others.
