The pre-schoolers usually have class in the afternoon, but is it felt that the children can be involved in the learning process any time of the day. The basic routine for toddlers includes arts and crafts, creative play and story time. “There is some structure with the educational part of the program, but the learning often depends on how the day is going,” said Linda Thorn, who is supervisor of the Wee Care center in Shavertown. The family environment between the staff at Wee Care and the children who go there is an important aspect of the program. Many children currently enrolled in the program came as infants and stayed until completion of preschool. There is very little turnover of the staff there and they tend to get very involved with the children who make Wee Care their second home, said Thorn. “We feel sometimes as if we are raising the kids. It's hard to leave a job like this behind," said Thorn. Small Wonders, a new day care center off Carverton Road in Trucksville, is a cross between a structured program with an academic focus and a safe and homey environment for children tointeract and learn socialization skills. The center just opened in December, and has plenty of room to grow with a capacity of 60 children and 16 currently enrolled. The rates at the center are infants $75.00 weekly, toddlers $65.00 and pre- schoolers $50.00 weekly. The educational aspect depends on when the child is ready to sit down and learn, according to Cletta Salavantis, who is owner and director of Small Wonders. the The center uses Alphaphonics learning method which is a type of educational tool whereby basic math and language skills are taught through the use of a fantasy game with the characters Astro and Astra, said Salavantis. Another unique feature of Small Wonders is the monthly theme program in which a different issue is explored each month. Some of the issues explored by the children include: “all about me” in September , “our body” in January, and “people in the community” in May. This program developed out of 10 years of consultations between the center's owners and the teachers, and the children are given tests on what they have learned at the beginning and end of each program. Salavantis said, “It's hard to leave your kids behind and go off to work. I want to create an atmosphere where parents feel good about leaving their kids here, and don’t drive off feeling guilty”. rs 2 (LIS RAEN IY RE RY RYE RE (EA PR hb ag He Jil | NUMBER 9 SHOP Q W Northampton St Wilkes-Barre, Pa 18701 IMPORTED CLOTHES — JEWELRY — ACCESSORIES Wrestling clinic at Lake-Lehman this weekend By CHARLOT M.
