​

​At Foundations Family Childcare, our daily schedule is intentionally designed to support a mixed-age, family-like environment where children feel a strong sense of belonging. We prioritize play, relationships, and child-led exploration as the foundation for learning and development. Throughout the day, children build social-emotional skills, independence, and confidence while engaging in meaningful play and peer interactions. We believe these foundational experiences are essential for kindergarten readiness and lifelong learning.
