Vision
The vision of Sing, Giggle, & Grin is to provide all children with a safe, nurturing, and developmentally enriching environment where they can thrive while temporarily away from their families. Our goal is to offer families peace of mind, knowing their children are cared for in a loving and supportive setting. Most importantly, we want every child and family we serve to experience joy. We strive to create lasting, happy memories that children and their families will cherish for years to come.
Mission
The mission of Sing, Giggle, & Grin is to partner with families in nurturing the social, emotional, cognitive, moral, language, and physical development of each child while fostering a sense of joy and well-being. We provide hands-on learning experiences that encourage individual growth, self-help skills, social development, and respect for others, empowering children to thrive in a supportive and engaging environment.
Sing, Giggle, & Grin’s Philosophy on Child Development and Learning
At Sing, Giggle, & Grin, we recognize that each child is a unique individual who develops at their own pace. While developmental milestones provide general guidelines, we celebrate the individuality of every child and support their growth in a way that respects their personal journey. We believe that learning happens best through hands-on experiences, allowing children to explore their environment and engage meaningfully with those around them.
The Role of Adults in Child Development
Physical Development
During a child’s early years, we see adults as both coaches and spectators in their physical development. Adults provide opportunities and environments where children can explore movement, coordination, and strength. Encouragement and guidance are essential when children take on new physical challenges, such as learning to walk, climb, or balance. However, we also recognize the importance of stepping back—allowing children the space to develop independence, confidence, and resilience through self-directed physical exploration.
Social and Emotional Development
A child’s social development flourishes in a supportive environment where adults serve as role models for positive interactions. By demonstrating appropriate social behaviors and respectful communication, adults help children build strong social skills. Emotional development is nurtured through warm, reciprocal relationships, where children feel valued, respected, and secure in expressing their thoughts and feelings.
Cognitive and Language Development
At Sing, Giggle, & Grin, we believe in creating enriching environments that encourage children to explore, ask questions, and develop critical thinking skills. Teachers take on the role of facilitators, guiding children’s curiosity and discovery through engaging activities. Language development is supported in language-rich environments, where adults engage in meaningful conversations with children, model clear and appropriate speech, and encourage expressive communication.
Partnership with Families
Families are a child’s first and most important teachers, and we are committed to building strong partnerships with them. At Sing, Giggle, & Grin, we strive to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where families feel valued and supported. We honor family preferences and involve them in their child's developmental journey by collaborating on goals and ensuring their voices are heard. By working together as a team, we aim to foster each child’s continued growth and success.
