We provide quality care for children birth to twelve.
Welcome to Hester's Creative Schools! Here, we create an environment in which children are invited to explore, wonder, and create as they learn through play. We provide discovery experiences that encourage children to ask how and why about our world and community in a safe, nurturing environment immersed with love and values.
At Hester's, our mission is to stimulate the intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual growth of children through the use of developmentally appropriate activities. We promote a strong sense of self and recognition of each one's place in the broader community. We welcome children and families of all cultures and backgrounds to join our program.
Our Goals:
Language & Literacy Development - We provide a print rich environment with engaging materials and activities to help children develop a love of reading and to enhance their communication skills.
Math & Science Development - We provide thought provoking materials and activities to help children to gather information, develop ideas, discover and problem solve as they learn about our world.
Creative Development -We provide a variety of mediums and experiences for children to expand on their natural, creative abilities and forms of expression.
Social & Emotional Development - We provide opportunities for children to build self-esteem as they learn about themselves and our community. We provide chances for children to practice social skills as they work and play successfully with others. We provide an atmosphere where children, families, and staff respect and relate to one another with loving kindness.
Physical Health & Development - We provide a well-balanced day of activity, proper diet and rest necessary for the development of gross/fine motor skills. We provide activities that encourage children to practice healthy habits.
Approaches to Learning - We provide children with engaging experiences that allow them to practice and master skills to build self-confidence and determination as they develop a love of learning.
