The Neighborhood City Center for Young Children
(City Center) is Neighborhood for Learning's newest
site serving children ages six weeks to enrollment in kindergarten. The City Center is a joint project of Conejo Valley Neighborhood for Learning (CV NfL), the Conejo Valley Unified School District, and the City of Thousand Oaks. Its purpose is to provide the community with quality childcare and education services for the 0-5 population. Services also include family support and education. Focusing on literacy development, health and nutrition and peaceful families, the goal of Neighborhood for Learning is family strengthening and school readiness.
Basic services at the City Center
In addition to full day infant childcare (ratio 1:3) for ages six weeks to 18 months, we offer half and full day toddler childcare (ratio 1: 6) for ages 18 months to 30 months, and full day and part time preschool for children ages 2 1/2 to enrollment in Kindergarten (ratio 1:8).
Philosophy
The staff and administration at Neighborhood City Center know that young children thrive in safe, nurturing, predictable and respectful environments that promote trust. These elements are foundational and at the core of our center's philosophy; a philosophy that fosters a child-centered curriculum and is reflected throughout our educational program which allows children to succeed in school and in life.
Goals
CV NfL's goal is to partner with families to provide a safe and loving quality educational environment for their children which provides varied experiences that will allow each child to:
- build strong relationship skills,
- develop and practice problem solving and
conflict resolution,
- develop an interest and joy in learning,
- develop security and good self-image,
- develop self-control and responsibility,
- enhance physical development,
- enjoy strong parent involvement and education,
- transition successfully to the school environment
Hours of Operation
The City Center is open Monday thru Fridays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Please view the City Center Calendar for holidays (no school).
2011-2012 Tuition and Fees
There is an annual application/materials fee of $100 per child to reserve a spot for a child at the City Center. Application/materials fee is non-refundable.
If siblings are enrolled, total monthly tuition fee will be reduced by 10%.
Typical Day for Infants at City Center
We provide an environment that is safe and full of opportunities for the exploration necessary for a child to develop and thrive. The types of materials and toys available will be age appropriate and challenging enough to provide the needed stimulation.
There will be a daily plan for the infant to accommodate the need for routine, but our trained staff understands the need for flexibility and will change the plan as needed.
Infants' activities need to be adapted to their individual needs and will vary depending on their own biological rhythms. Nonetheless, in addition to meeting the basic routines needed at this age, time will be set aside throughout the day to offer activities that will promote development in all domains: Physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and creative. Their specific activities will start at arrival time. Primary care providers will keep a visual checklist of daily care and will record anecdotal notes as a means of communication with parents at the end of the day and when necessary, by phone.
- Arrival time: Parent/provider communication will take place
- Diapering (at least every two hours and as needed)
- Feeding (parents will provide formula and solid food where applicable)
Playful interactions with provider and environment will take place throughout the day and napping will take place according to each child’s biological rhythms.
Food and Snack
Parents will provide formula and solid food where applicable.
Parent Involvement
We respect that the parent is the child's first teacher and that the staff at the Center is in partnership with the parent(s) in caring for and educating their child. We recognize that the success of a child in school later on is correlated to parents' involvement in their child's education from early on and as such strongly recommend. Please know that you are welcome at the Center at any time and are requested to volunteer a minimum of 1.5 hours per month.
Registration
Admission to the Neighborhood City Center shall be granted without discrimination with regard to religion, race, color or socio-economic status. The Neighborhood City Center will make every attempt to meet the special needs of a child as long as the goals of the program and the needs of the other students are not compromised.
After initial parent tour and interview, wherin the child's development/needs are discussed, and enrollment process is complete, the child will be placed in a group according to age and particular needs of the child in accordance with Title 22.
