Curriculum
It is our belief that children learn best when they are interested in what they are learning. We interact, observe and plan activities that will expand their thinking to allow for language, literacy, pre-mathematical concepts and other pre-academic skills to develop social & emotional skills.
Philosophy
At all Michelle’s Backyard Preschool & Daycare locations, we take extra care in making children feel safe, comfortable, and loved. The multi-age setting provides a rich and natural environment for children to develop social and emotional skills. Our curriculum is play based; focusing on the current interests and developmental levels of our children. We partner with parents and believe that emotional development is the core of proper brain development. We have embraced the philosophy of nonviolent parenting, which stresses the importance of nurturing emotional intelligence through empathy and connection.
Enrichment
We believe in developing the whole child. Our enrichment program includes yoga, gymnastics, music and cooking. All enrichment happens at Michelle's Backyard during regular school hours at no additional cost. We do venture out into the community and take field trips several times per year.
What People Are Saying
“Our oldest son "graduated" from Michelle's Backyard a year ago and is a confident, happy and thriving 4-year old today. Michelle certainly played a central role in shaping his social and emotional development. We were fortunate enough to find Michelle as first-time parents. She immediately put our novice parenting jitters at ease and quickly earned our full trust in caring for our son. Well, sons, really. Our second child is currently in Michelle's care and like all the kiddos there, feeds off of her boundless energy and infectious positive spirit. We LOVE Michelle and consider her an extended part of our family.”
— Ron C.
“Michelle and Crystal are the sweetest and most caring daycare provider you'll ever meet. They genuinely love each and every kid like they're their own. Their patience is off the charts, and they tailors activities to suit each child's needs. I've seen my kid blossom under their care.
Communication with Michelle is a breeze. She keeps us in the loop with updates on our kid's activities and progress. And she's always there to listen and address any concerns we have. It's so reassuring to have someone like her taking care of our little girl.”
— Yuli J.
“Michelle's Backyard (MB) deserves all the stars in the universe, and every child and family deserves a daycare/preschool environment as supportive and enriching as this. I can't overstate this enough... MB is as much support network for parents as it is developmentally enriching for children. Expect to play, chat, hang out, connect, and carry relationships on for years to come.
Our child started at 7 months old, and will continue until aging out at 3 years 7 months.”
