The Merry Go Around Child Development Center is an early childhood centre serving infants through school-age children at an FAA campus; it emphasizes development across social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive domains and is NAEYC accredited.
The Merry Go Around is an early childhood program located on federal property and operating with round-the-clock security. The centre provides care for children from infancy through school-age and emphasizes social-emotional development alongside physical, cognitive and language growth.
The program uses The Creative Curriculum complemented by Reggio-inspired elements to set up open-ended, interest-driven learning environments. Teachers document observations and use twice-yearly individual assessments to inform lesson planning and developmental goals.
The program focuses on self-help skills, emotion regulation, social interaction and beginning literacy and numeracy through stories, songs and open-ended activities; teachers work with families on potty-training routines.
Children in this room follow a shared daily schedule with one nap, use sippy cups for milk, participate in daily outdoor play and open-ended activities, and receive daily reports.
Care follows each infant's individual eating and sleeping schedule; caregivers support motor development and provide developmentally appropriate activities with daily reports to families.
Children who are fully potty trained engage in sensory-rich curriculum to develop motor skills, hand-eye coordination and early academic readiness to support transition to kindergarten.
The centre offers a school-age program that supports students from kindergarten through fifth grade, including assistance with remote learning when applicable.
