When parents choose Imagination Station, they can trust that their child will be provided with an enriching environment in which they can grow intellectually, physically, creatively, emotionally, and socially. Best Toddler & Preschool Childcare Agency 2023 - Greater Boston Imagination Station has carefully designed its programmes to meet the needs of each age group, but the true key to the company’s excellent services is its dedicated team of staff. Every member of the team meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by the Department of Early Education Care. This means that they all engage in annual professional development programmes designed to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the best practices required for the care of children. Furthermore, the staff at Imagination Station are thoroughly trained in First Aid and CPR, Medication Administration and Emergency Preparedness, as well as other EEC regulated trainings. Employees are also subject to observations every two months, conducted by the Director of the centre to ensure that they comply with all policies and procedures. Imagination Station believes that a passion for excellent childcare is just as important as these necessary qualifications. For this reason, every team member hired is wholly committed to the role they play in enriching children with the skills they need to succeed in the school years ahead of them. They are well-trained and encouraged to deliver experiences in which children engage in problem solving, personal interaction skills, and hands-on learning. Additionally, with Imagination Station, parents can trust that they will be provided with all the necessary information about their child’s day to day activities. The company’s primary method of communication is Brightwheel, a mobile application through which parents are kept informed about what their child is doing as well as any diaper changes, naps, and feedings. Using Brightwheel, teachers can send private, real-time updates and photos straight to parents’ phones, computers, or tablets. Calls can also be made throughout the day, enabling them to easily and regularly check up on their child. As an efficient method of communication, Brightwheel is not only perfect for keeping parents in the loop, but also for allowing teachers to spend more time with the children under their care. As a result of its excellent programmes, dedicated staff, and effective communication with parents, Imagination Station has been awarded Best Toddler & Preschool Childcare Agency, Greater Boston, in the Parent and Baby Awards 2023. In the coming year, the company has exciting plans for further growth and expansion. We are delighted to congratulate Imagination Station on its success in this awards programme and can’t wait to see what its future holds. Contact: Jessica Teixeira Company: Imagination Station Early Learning Center Inc Web Address: imaginationstationrevere.com etween 7am and 5pm from Monday to Friday, Imagination Station offers premium educational programmes on a full or part time basis. The company’s offerings are perfect for parents seeking childcare services that will provide their child with more extensive opportunities for socialisation and personal development. Imagination Station offers programmes that suit different age groups, including infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Its Infant Programme enables children between 6 weeks and 15 months old to enjoy music, singing, conversation, and play time with ageappropriate toys. Many parents struggle to return to work after the birth of their newborn. With trustworthy care and fun activities that their child will love, Imagination Station aims to make this transition as smooth as possible. As infants grow and become toddlers, they begin to develop language skills and become more mobile, curious, and self-aware. During this time, they are often compelled to investigate spatial concepts and motor skills. They also begin to develop meaningful friendships with others. As part of Imagination Station’s Toddler Programme, staff aim to guide and nurture children through this part of their lives, enabling them to enjoy crafts, stories, circle time, small and large muscle activities, and opportunities to develop their social skills. Moreover, Imagination Station’s Preschool Programme enables children to continue learning self-care, early literacy, and interpersonal skills through fun activities. Some of the social skills they develop at this stage include sharing, taking turns, using sympathy, and expressing feelings. Children also begin to identify shapes, colours, sounds, letters, and first and last names. The programme also involves counting games and songs designed to introduce children to number concepts and sequencing. B Jul23687
