Jack and Jill Daycare
415 E. Orange St., Shippensburg, PA
Programs
The primary goal of the programs is to provide a safe, healthy, supervised environment for children. The focus of the program’s content is intended to compliment the children’s other daily experiences. The entire program of instruction includes those motor, creative, manipulative, imaginative, rhythmic, language and science activities and experiences that tend to promote effectively the physical, mental, social, emotional, aesthetic, and spiritual development of children of early childhood age & school age.
Self-directed and teacher-directed studies include science, math, language, social studies, fine arts, computer use and physical activities.
Religious, as well as other cultural values will be shared with children through stories, songs, prayers and principles of sharing in play and social conduct. No attempt is made to prejudice a child against the beliefs of his/her parents; however, the atmosphere and objectives of the Day Care are distinctly Christian.
​
Outside play is part of the daily program – weather permitting. Children cannot be left inside during outside time due to inappropriate dress since all staff are needed outside.
​Infant's Class
We would like to welcome you and your precious little bundle to our infant classroom. Often, we find child care to be a new experience for most infant parents, so we try to put your mind at rest and answer most of your questions at the beginning.
All infants are on their own individual feeding and sleeping schedules. A weekly schedule of activities is followed to help in the development of language and motor skills according to the child’s age. Some of the things that the day includes are: songs, stories, floor activities, rocking, cuddling, hugs and lots of love.
