Speech begins as well as other forms of nonverbal communication that express what a child wants or needs. Toddlers love to look at books, hear stories, listen to music, sing and dance. In order to learn and grow, they must be exposed to a wide variety in life while feeling safe and secure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600365763091-U4C2IXIY79KENCALUAVL/IMG_2373%2B%25281%2529.jpg Toddlers - Where Curiosity Starts Exploration truly begins in the toddler rooms. A toddler’s natural curiosity compels them to enthusiastically explore their environment. Toddlers love to crawl through mazes, chase bubbles, play with water, “cook” in the kitchen - and we enable all of that to occur. We split our toddlers into two rooms at For Kids’ Sake, allowing our staff to hone in on the development of a smaller age range of children and focus on what’s most important for that time. Teacher to children ratios for our toddlers are held at an average of 1:4. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/infant daily 0.75 2020-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1592837075577-0IAG33PP3TZTESFS70BN/IMG_5050.jpg Infants - Quality Care to Put Your Mind at Ease It’s challenging to find someone you trust to watch your baby and give them all the nourishment they need. At For Kids’ Sake, our philosophy is to treat each child as though they were our own. That means making sure they get the physical, emotional and social development a growing baby needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1592838607302-R3VG9V0VL6111LBXM9VY/IMG_3620.jpg Infants - Developing Skills We make sure that each child gets the practice they need to hit their milestones. This includes physical exercise, such as tummy time to strengthen muscles, interaction with various toys and textures for cognitive development and socialization with caregivers and other babies. Our staff documents progress to make sure you are kept in the loop and to provide a smooth transition from school to home. A 1:3 teacher to child ratio, better than the state-mandated ratio, makes all of this possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1591129232884-WWVSU0RQOF736PIEUKGZ/Aro%2BHa_0393.jpg Infants - Safety at the Forefront The safety of your child is our number one priority at For Kids’ Sake. We abide by the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and all of our caregivers are trained in CPR, First Aid and Communicable Diseases. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/three-year-olds daily 0.75 2020-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600213967821-F42I4NDTUXNXM2F1HBYQ/imagejpeg_0%2B%25284%2529.jpg Preschool - A Diverse Education We provide many forms of learning every day in our morning preschool program. Circle Time, Language Arts, Math, Science, Art, Music and Movement and Outdoor Play are all included in each day’s activities. We offer a mix of structured and unstructured time to allow children to begin to get used to a routine while still exploring independently as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600213869959-2KP1DB937VOAM61UVHXV/imagejpeg_0+%283%29.jpg Preschool - Verbal Progression During this time children become more specific with their vocabulary. Instead of calling a vehicle a truck, they may refer to it as a front loader. We encourage this growth at For Kids’ Sake through conversation with the children, stories, books and interactive play. Children also develop phonological awareness through rhymes, finger-plays and songs. We encourage children to extend their language development by posing questions such as, “Do you know another word that starts with the same sound as block?” Letter recognition and comprehension also develop significantly during this time. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-06-22 https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/visit daily 0.75 2020-06-04 https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/staff daily 0.75 2024-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1633364795258-FCZIO61MXOQLO5TQPN9V/IMG_6408.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600178163018-43NJDKZA6IGKUJ6B7N6X/IMG_0311.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600178232288-OWJ3MIWN4MU7ZUONN6MN/IMG_0316.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/4d97a2d6-069b-42b8-92cc-1bf31963c1ab/imagejpeg_0+%281%29.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/e1273c97-6015-4958-876e-9fbb596d07a4/Resized_20230813_074440.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1617238449693-QOTFMJVTWMZHDN3S5ZKA/IMG_2539.jpeg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/7f932a92-68f1-4018-8115-48e0a3b28248/received_979135089871857.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600177637621-HWW0AF27WB8F3BIXP13P/IMG_0309.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/067113bf-b415-4ff7-8baa-40c3b9a00dd5/345649500_968415514360119_8585650124126922393_n.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/b0ddb03d-b51d-416a-a1ef-686de6618cf5/IMG_3652.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/f03c1610-a058-4e78-ad03-b7c1ae019545/IMG_3653.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1633363234690-86GBKIKT0Z5L2BF83PGN/IMG_3006.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600289624523-4OU8WKXOLJHP5RWIAVZ7/IMG_2370%252B%2525281%252529.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/2515c52a-bf4d-4a54-a950-006e6dbab892/IMG_0224.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/6e80ca54-b8be-4be2-a5db-8fb42f2f32de/IMG_3654.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/a056bf97-4983-415e-a6b8-3f4d4fcdc21d/IMG_3660.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600177761344-6FNMPC90O0NB90JIP6WB/IMG_5916.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/f49f6182-a5b0-4a59-938b-6cf48f2aa523/FullSizeRender.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600178362764-IFYZZK0QLD58S572O0TM/IMG_0312.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/48e03300-ab6d-4e18-abfe-45d9d8b2c073/Large%2BJPG-20140228_Trade%2B151_0046.jpg Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1633363323436-ZRD7JCKV2DFLKWTQAN85/IMG_3003.jpg Staff https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/older-toddlers daily 0.75 2020-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600107621202-I0ZZJ2GDXA2MMZG2ITKU/imagejpeg_0.jpg Pre-Kindergarten - Building a Foundation for Success Our goal is to prepare your children to succeed when they enter grade school. This includes a well-rounded introduction to academic subjects, such as language arts, math, science and art. Children are introduced to a loose routine to prepare them for days in the classroom while still being given enough freedom to explore, create, socialize and develop on their own. For Kids’ Sake follows tried and true methods for education and ensures your children are exposed to a wide variety of concepts in learning and play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600107678119-XOPV2SITELK9L4MN72PA/imagejpeg_0%2B%25281%2529.jpg Pre-Kindergarten - Pre-K Activities The Pre-K schedule offers a wide variety of activities, including music and movement, outdoor play, circle time and four subjects taught every day: Language Arts - Letter recognition, writing, phonetics, storytelling, beginning/middle/end sequencing, rhyming, prediction and comprehension in reading Math - Counting to 100, number recognition 1 to 30, writing numbers, graphing, shapes and patterning Art - Painting, pasting, cutting and creating Science - Hands-on experiments, senses, seasons and weather https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/after-school daily 0.75 2020-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600126029530-FU3D1C36NWIKUXGJ94XG/IMG_1447.jpg School Age - After-School Here at For Kids’ Sake we offer an afternoon school age program through fourth grade where children are aided in their homework and given the opportunity to play indoors and outdoors. Relaxing after a day at school is high on the list! We offer afternoon transportation to For Kids’ Sake in our own bus from the Boardman and Canfield school systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600127154491-6KG0DGVOK854D4HGHOG7/Image-1.jpg School Age - Summer Program We split our summer school age program into two age groups. Children participate in activities throughout the summer to help them think outside the box and develop in ways they may not have the opportunity to during a structured school day. Our summer program offers multiple field trips per week to experience the community, learn and have fun! A list of past field trips include: Wagon Trails, Noah’s Ark, a trip to the planetarium, Oh Wow!, the movie theater, a ferry boat trip in Mill Creek Park, Boardman Park, YMCA, Game On, Austintown Bounce, bowling and roller skating. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/home daily 1.0 2023-06-26 https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/two daily 0.75 2020-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600214279581-NI22D041CM98C7E5C501/IMG_6728%2B%25281%2529.jpg Two Year Olds - Physical and Intellectual Development Discovery with sand, water, blocks and art supplies tap into a child’s creativity. Puzzles help with problem solving, play dough helps with fine motor, and gross motor is developed through running, climbing, rolling, catching and throwing. Variety is the spice of life, and children at For Kids’ Sake are introduced to a wide range of activities to help them progress while having fun.

Children begin to use words to express their feelings, negotiate with other children to get what they want and mimic what they hear in adult conversation. Dramatic play is very important at this time in their lives, and is one of focuses in the two year old classrooms. It helps children to communicate with their peers and stimulate their imaginations. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/facilities daily 0.75 2020-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953231279-KQF2XZYO4T4PIILZTIA4/IMG_1426.jpg Facilities For Kids' Sake facility on Route 224 in Boardman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599954073678-68BP84T11R1FUYK2VJID/IMG_1425.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953324062-C2R5E55TFO2GWEQ1NM1Q/IMG_1424.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953362622-9R076NY5HOHP7RS24BSA/IMG_1389.jpg Facilities Entrance to our Transitional-K Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953460316-3SJX60ZF6HOAAL79UDCB/IMG_1415.jpg Facilities Transitional-K https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953544152-6OMMLCPMOZU94J4W0IA9/IMG_1414.jpg Facilities Transitional-K https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953525804-RYWSKO85LZBINTE3CPAY/IMG_1413.jpg Facilities Transitional-K https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600107779275-OIQTXWGHGB8GXA8FTFH7/IMG_1403.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953566407-CXWUB42JUFW61Q4V2LXM/IMG_1412.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953589017-36M6FNZK4F0ZRY34WUR3/IMG_1410.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953623981-ENN9D7QHDWLS3GZZCM6K/IMG_1409.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953656783-BIM2FUF5DDF5V0R97VV5/IMG_1408.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953700458-84JISZXI5U9A8Q59X39J/IMG_1405.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953740114-WW51P44S5CB0W0JDEKP7/IMG_1404.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953766353-SP5MPN93I6N8UOS5658K/IMG_1400.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953789904-BS36B5BRM5X71I8OLD23/IMG_1398.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953821615-A1Q21S9U3FI4REGZQ640/IMG_1401.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599952860703-T0FTNRXTNPF2VEQJNVIJ/IMG_1397.JPG Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953862907-4AOSPNEEG7ZKKHY8JCD9/IMG_1390.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953894868-R9DMBOKXDU6DR170BETR/IMG_1391.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953927882-YGJ1ZM1MIB8LST1EJQEY/IMG_1393.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953954063-BJX7HJAFK3BYKZOULYCA/IMG_1418.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599953976738-N7HBHYG4NPJPH95TW0TG/IMG_1419.jpg Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599954013718-TDCBB7KFZ41R7GXR0S61/IMG_1420.jpg Facilities https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/history daily 0.75 2020-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1599956061634-PTOM18GWM8MY48VEOBCU/IMG_1429.jpg History For Kids’ Sake Preschool and Daycare opened on October 14, 1996, with eight smiling children attending for the day. Due to the quality of our staff and great word of mouth, we grew very rapidly and soon needed a larger location, which would enable us to accommodate more children. On October 14, 2002, we opened our doors at the current location. We quickly reached our present size, which services between 115-125 children per day. We hope to continue to provide a nurturing environment for many years to come. https://www.forkidssakepreschool.com/prekindergarten daily 0.75 2020-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600451999954-HEZ1VBRX0LOYAD0WG0DO/IMG_2400.JPG Transitional Kindergarten - Lesson Examples: Language Arts: Children are presented with a story that is out of order. They work to figure out in which order the story belongs by making sense of cause and effect and context clues. Art: Children learn about Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting, then recreate their own sunflower still-life using watercolors. Math: Children learn how to create a bar graph by tasting Skittles candy and recording which flavors are each student’s favorite. Science: Out of a handful of items, children predict which will sink or float in water. Then, they test their hypotheses to see what actually happens! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed594ef79e013384563f2be/1600213705692-Q0CT3QXBANKAUWZDWIHP/IMG_2363%2B%25281%2529.jpg Transitional Kindergarten - The Perfect Situation When a Child Needs One More Year Transitional Kindergarten offers an elevated Pre-Kindergarten program for students who are in between traditional Pre-K and Kindergarten. During this year, the children take learning to a higher level. Many of the children leave at the end of the year beginning to sound out words and reading short sentences. They love to work with word families and write stories of their own creation. Their designs and building skills with blocks, legos, Lincoln logs and magnetic formers take on a life of their own!
