Our Mission

At Safari Kids Learning Center we believe that children develop best in an environment where they feel safe, secure and loved.  We strive to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate program for toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children.  Children are challenged to explore and learn about their world through concrete, yet meaningful experiences which support their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.  We provide peace of mind to our parents who are able to be confident and secure in the knowledge that their child is in caring and competent hands.

Program Goals

The goals of Safari Kids Learning Center are to:

• Provide opportunities for a child to develop social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth.
• Help children develop a positive self-image.
• Encourage self-expression through art, music, creative movement, and story-telling.
• Help children deal with feelings and emotions and create relationships among peers.
• Develop the child's problem solving skills.
• Guide children to manage themselves and their environment.
• Keep open lines of communication with parents to better form a partnership necessary for the benefit of the child.
  

Our Program

At Safari Kids Learning Center we take a very hands-on approach to learning.  Children are given the opportunity to participate in a variety of structured and free choice activities that teach language and literacy, math, science, social, emotional, and physical skills.  Our approach to learning focuses on the whole child.  We begin our school day with an interactive "Morning Meeting" time in which the children participate in structured group activities which help to promote language and literacy, math, science, social, and physical skills.  Following Morning Meeting, children are able to choose from various "free-choice" center activities in our print-rich, interactive classroom.  Because our classroom is organized into learning centers, children are engaged in educational activities throughout the day and are able to freely choose activities which interest them. 

Our Preschool and Kindergarten programs follow the Pre-K and Kindergarten curriculum guidelines and P.A.S.S. Skills of the Oklahoma State Department of Education and the Early Learning Guidelines for 3 to 5 year olds.
