Benton-area parents should be interested to learn that the Little Tiger Teachery day care on Main Street has come under new ownership and management. Openings are currently available for full-time and part-time students of all ages, including infants.
Hours of operation have been expanded from 6:30AM until 6:00PM, Monday through Friday, and includes before- and after-school care with transportation to and from Benton Elementary School. Professionally-trained staff supervise educational, creative, age-appropriate activities designed to encourage enthusiasm for learning. Beginning in December, the Little Tiger Teachery will furnish a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks for all students.
Joanna Anderson purchased the Little Tiger Teachery from Eric Kocher in October, 2008, and took over as Director. Joanna has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, NJ. She previously taught at All Saints Day School in Hoboken, NJ, and Pitter Patter Day School in Williamsport, PA. Additional staff are also well-qualified and in compliance with Department of Public Welfare regulations. The Little Tiger Teachery is a Pennsylvania state licensed child care facility conforming to all safety regulations and will be joining the Keystone Stars program to ensure the highest quality in early learning standards.
Joanna's goal is to offer a safe, comfortable, and educational "home away from home" for her students which is far more than just a babysitting service. The curriculum focuses on building emotional, physical, and social skills while also encouraging curiosity and personal discovery. Children participate in hands-on arts and crafts, interactive games, language skills, song and dance, preschool instruction, classroom activities, and supervised play and exploration. They eat nutritious meals and develop good habits and manners. Each child builds a portfolio of their work, play, and accomplishments to help parents evaluate their child's developmental progress.
Interested parents are encouraged to schedule an appointment to visit the facility and discuss their and their child's needs. Please also inquire about possible government aid.
