About Ascension Childcare

At Ascension, we believe in quality early childhood education and understand it is an integral part of our community. We are committed to supporting families. We strive to empower children to learn, to be curious investigators, to interact positively with others, and grow to be healthy. We do this by offering a safe environment for children that provides enriching, nurturing, and growth-enhancing experiences for all ages and abilities. We are a SEED Certified school, which means we provide an emotionally secure setting to explore and learn. Children are cared for and supported by consistent caregivers, and learn to feel comfortable expressing their needs, desires, feelings and thoughts. When children feel secure and safe, they are able to focus on play and learning! ACC teachers utilize emergent curriculum. Through continual and thoughtful observation of children’s play, conversations with the children and families, and understanding children’s behavior, teachers are able to develop rich learning experiences for their classrooms. Activities are open-ended and child-directed in nature. Our curriculum allows children to investigate a concept or materials with their own flare and preferences, at an individual pace and developmental level. Because of the open-ended curriculum, children of varying developmental levels can learn and benefit from the same activity. Teachers are expected to develop curriculum in each of the areas of the classroom while being mindful of Vermont Early Learning Standards and developmentally appropriate practice. Curriculum may include a single activity, a set of activities, group project, or an area design offering specific materials.
