The center is a newly constructed state of the art facility. The facility
has many features that provide a safe, clean environment for the children and enhance classroom management
for teachers. A security door, security camera, and observation windows monitor visitors to the center.
Well designed classrooms feature a variety of rich learning centers, areas for children to
work and learn independently, a cozy reading area with couch and carpet, and a circle
time area for stories and group activities.
The early learning classrooms support children’s basic
functions and learning activities from a child’s perspective. Toilets, sinks, faucets, mirrors,
drinking fountains, tables and chairs, and low shelves are at the child’s level and child-sized.
Each Preschool room has separate his and hers bathrooms.
A major portion of a child’s day is spent in play. Children develop, physically, emotionally,
socially, and intellectually through play. To help facilitate these play experiences, whether
indoors or outdoors, the Cambridge School provides a safe play environment with plenty
of appropriate play equipment.
Playgrounds We recognize the importance of
outdoor play in the development of the whole child. The outdoors is
an extension of the classroom. Our playgrounds are outfitted with
age-appropriate equipment designed for active play
and exploration. Playground activities provide your child with the opportunity for physical and social
development as well as additional learning activities. Playground safety is a priority
at the Cambridge School. There are separate playgrounds for toddlers and
preschool age children. Our playgrounds feature age appropriate equipment and
approved by the APDAA. Teachers are trained to provide
proper supervision.
There are separate playgrounds for
infant/toddlers and preschool age children. The playground
equipment meets IPEMA certification standards for safety. The
Cambridge School employs the National Program for Playground Safety
(NPPS) model for teachers and children. The S.A.F.E. model
promotes playground safety through proper supervision,
age-appropriate design, fall surface, and equipment
maintenance. According to NPPS, 40% of all playground injuries
occur when adults are either not present or actively supevising
children who are playing on equipment. |
