Overview of Services:

Magical Minds Daycare and OSC offer comprehensive childcare services tailored to children’s developmental needs from infancy through school. Our programs are designed based on the FLIGHT FRAMEWORK philosophy and play way method of learning, providing a holistic approach to child development that integrates the following elements:

• Foster Creativity: Through play-based activities, arts and crafts, music, and storytelling, we encourage children to express themselves creatively, explore their interests, and develop their imaginations
• Lifelong Learning: Our curriculum promotes curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We provide age-appropriate activities and experiences that stimulate cognitive development and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
• Inclusive Environment: We celebrate diversity and create an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and supported. Our programs promote empathy, kindness, and understanding, fostering positive relationships and a sense of belonging among children of all backgrounds.
• Growth Mindset: We instill a growth mindset in children, encouraging them to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and persevere in facing obstacles. Through positive reinforcement and encouragement, we empower children to take risks, set goals, and develop resilience.
• Healthy Living: We prioritize the health and well-being of our children, providing nutritious meals and snacks, promoting physical activity and outdoor play, and teaching healthy habits for lifelong wellness.
• Team Collaboration: We recognize the importance of collaboration between parents, caregivers, and educators in supporting children’s development. We strive to maintain open communication, foster family partnerships and involve parents in their child’s learning journey.

Our philosophy at Magical Minds Daycare and OSC is not just a set of ideals. It’s a practical approach that we call the FLIGHT FRAMEWORK method. This method fosters children’s individualism, creativity, socialization, and school readiness. It’s a way of guiding children’s development that they can carry throughout their lives.

• Freedom: We believe in allowing children to explore and express themselves in a safe and supportive environment. This means encouraging autonomy and decision-making within appropriate boundaries, allowing children to discover their interests and strengths.
• Learning through Play: Play is the cornerstone of childhood development. We embrace the Playway Method, which seamlessly integrates learning and play. Children naturally engage in activities that promote cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional growth through play. Our curriculum incorporates playful activities that stimulate curiosity, problem-solving, and imagination.
• Individualism: At Magical Minds Daycare and OSC, we don’t just acknowledge individualism; we celebrate it. We understand that every child is unique, with their own set of talents, preferences, and learning styles. That’s why we strive to tailor our approach to meet each child’s needs. Our teachers take the time to understand and appreciate the strengths and challenges of every child, providing personalized guidance and support.
• Growth mindset: We foster a growth mindset in children, encouraging them to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and persist in facing setbacks. We aim to instill confidence and resilience, empowering children to take on new experiences and enthusiastically pursue their goals.
• Holistic development: We believe in nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our programs incorporate activities promoting physical fitness, emotional well-being, and social development. From art and music to outdoor play and STEM exploration, we offer diverse experiences to enrich children’s lives.
• Teamwork: Collaboration and cooperation are essential skills for success in life. We encourage children to work together, communicate effectively, and respect each other’s perspectives. Through group activities and projects, children learn the value of teamwork and develop essential social skills. The FLIGHT FRAMEWORK approach and the play-away method create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can spread their wings, explore their potential, and soar to new heights. At Magical Minds Daycare and OSC, every child is valued, supported, and inspired to reach for the stars.
