LMCPD Yellow Room
In our yellow room, we provide child care Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
We hire qualified staff!! Our staff in the yellow room have a combined 10 years of experience working at LMCPD. Our staff also attend many classes each year to learn more about teaching children developmentally appropriate practices. All of our staff are also trained in CPR, First Aid, Child Abuse Reporting, and Child Development. Overall, our staff are committed to quality care and strive to meet the needs of the children and their families.
Nutritious snacks are provided each day and our menus are reviewed by the Department of Education's Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). We provide breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack to the children attending our programs. All meals and snacks are prepared in-house by our cook and are provided to children free of charge.
Communication between LMCPD staff and parents is very important for children enrolled in our program. Daily forms are filled out by parents in the morning when they drop off their child and our staff update them throughout the day as to how much the children ate, when they slept, when they had their diaper changed, etc.
Daily activities in our yellow room provide children with many opportunities to explore and develop according to each child's developmental stage. Our program and routine provides stimulation, exploration, noises and sounds to encourage language development. We provide lots of opportunities to play independently or in groups. Lastly, we also spend time each day participating in large motor activities. We have a wonderful playground in which we share with the blue room as well as an indoor gym to run in when it is too wet or cold to be outside.
