PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - LITTLE CREEK!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Little Creek achieved a Level 4 in Excels in June 2017!
Maryland EXCELS is a five-tiered quality rating and improvement system that addresses the needs of both families and educators. Maryland EXCELS stands for (EXcellence Counts in Early Learning and School-Age Care). Research shows that quality child care and early learning experiences provide the building blocks for lifelong learning. Early childhood and school age professionals play a crucial role in creating the stable foundation that children need to be successful. By participating in Maryland EXCELS, programs are showing a commitment to quality and excellence.
Little Creek has also been awarded the highest achievement in Accreditation by Maryland State Department of Education after completing the validation process last May! Little Creek is the first non-public Early Learning Program in Kent County to achieved this level of accreditation and one of only three accredited programs in the county.
Little Creek began the (voluntary) Accreditation process in fall 2015. These standards help programs pursue self-appraisal, program improvement, and external program review to achieve and publicly confirm that they meet state, regional, and national standards. For the last two years, Little Creek had been working on improving quality program services in program administration, program operation, and home and community partnerships. Little Creek is extremely proud of its infant through pre-kindergarten program and the efforts put forth to achieve the above accomplishments!
Little Creek offers care for children ages six weeks through age five. Every classroom has a hands on, multisensory approach to learning.

AROUND THE CREEK
Earlier this week, Mrs. Kirby's Discovery students made "moon sand," practicing measuring, pouring, and mixing materials! Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Who knows, it's from the moon! Later in the week, students made FLUBBER!
In honor of Fire Safety Week, Little Creek's Three's Class constructed a firetruck for their classroom!
Garner tests out different textured materials with her feet in Little Creek's Toddler Room! Great sensory fun!
In Art, Joe has been drawing designs for different types of sports sneakers. Yesterday, he actually got to draw his designs on pair of skate sneaks. Awesome job Joe!!!
In Mrs. Moorman's class, Kenzie recreated a spooky story by putting the sentences back together based on text clues.
