LICENSING
Allendale Children’s Center is licensed by the Pinellas County Licensing Board for Children’s Centers (#C880151) and is governed by an Advisory Board which is responsible to the Administrative Board of Allendale United Methodist Church.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Our educational program is based on an activities approach to learning. A weekly theme, along with the children’s interest and abilities, help determine the experiences teachers plan and the guidance they will give. Through the use of interest centers, discussions, stories, music, art, dramatization, games and outdoor play, we hope to extend intellectual, social, creative and physical learning.

Age-appropriate activities will encourage competency, creativity, cooperation and independence. The atmosphere of the school and regularly scheduled chapel services give spiritual direction to the child as well.

The staff seeks to keep parents familiar with the themes and programs the children are following at school so they can participate in the child’s learning process at home. Parental involvement is actively encouraged.

TEACHING RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR
We believe that each child is a unique, important human being with unlimited potential, for we are all Children of God. We work to develop and enhance positive self images, independence and taking responsibility for one’s actions.

Teachers set meaningful behavior expectations and respond to children’s actions. Throughout the day, it is the staff’s responsibility to model the intents, concerns and values that are honored in our society.
