We are Milestones Child Development Centers, Inc. We are a company of play-based centers, offering care from ages 6 weeks to 6 years. Our philosophy takes into consideration the individual needs of each child. Whenever we are thinking about how best to do something, we always start with the question, "What is in the best interest of this child?". This means that whenever possible, we look to see what each individual child needs to be successful. This could mean that we are sensitive to food issues or other individual needs, or we might accommodate for an individual educational need or preference. We want each child to be successful based on what that one child needs, not what "sort of" works for the whole group. Also, we know that young children learn best within the scope of strong bonds with primary caregivers. So our focus is on relationships with each other, the children, and their families. This leads to better outcomes for all.
What sets us apart from other centers in Sacramento?
Many things---we practice the six PITC core program policies:
*Primary Caregiving (families have a main point of contact that meets their needs while at the center)
*Continuity of Care (staying with a teacher and peer group throughout their time at the center, including transition to different classrooms)
*Small Groups
*Individualized Care
*Cultural Continuity
*Inclusion of Children with Special Needs
(see pitc.org for more information)
So much of a family is centered around holidays and traditions. We work hard to present an inclusive program that reflects our population. At Milestones we celebrate many occasions and offer displays for children and families to explore during various holiday seasons throughout the year. Here is a list of some of the celebrations and displays we have at school:
Literacy Week
Week of the Young Child
Black History Month
Spring Fest
Women's History Month
Pride Month
Summer Fest
Pajama Days
Spirit Weeks (Superhero Day, Wacky Wednesday, etc)
Family Day
Hispanic Heritage Month
Fall Fest
Diwali
Hmong New Year
Chanukah
Christmas
Kwanzaa
Winter Fest
and more!
We have lower preschool teacher-to-student ratios than most centers, and we have less turnover of staff than most facilities. Many of our staff at our O Street location have been here since Milestones began. This is the kind of continuity and routine that is critically important to children under the age of 5.
We offer video tours through our YouTube channel here, and in-person tours when we have a spot available.
