Child & Elder Care
Learn, Play & Grow
UCSF Child Care Services uses a developmental model, with an emphasis on the whole child in the process of self-discovery and growth. We believe that children embrace new experiences and a desire to learn when they are given a supportive, challenging, and safe environment. Children explore and learn about the environment through play and observation. We place a special emphasis on social development; children need to feel good about themselves so that they can learn to get along with each other, make appropriate choices, problem solve, negotiate, and use language to resolve conflicts. We see these as the major ’learning’ tasks for preschoolers. Manipulation of tactile objects such as water, sand, and building blocks, physical movement, and activities in music, art, and dramatics contribute toward increasing autonomy.
