Little Monsters Daycare

(previously known as Mishpachton shel Nickey) 

​

​

 

At our Daycare, learning is centered around our children.  We develop appropriate activities tailored to the growing needs of our children.  While embracing each child's differences, our staff support relationship building activities/procedures throughout our Daycare.  Through partnership between our Daycare Staff and families, we strive to enhance the tiny minds and imaginations of our future leaders and encourage them to become all they want to be.  

​

 Little Monsters is a Bilingual Daycare, located in center of  Tel Aviv.  

 

When you enter our Daycare, we hope you feel the warm welcome we aim to provide.  While your child is in our care, we want you to rest assure that the time spent here is full of growth throughout all developmental domains.  Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where it is all about the children.  We act as caring facilitators in preparing your child to become an independent, successful young learner. 

Our Mission :

​

Our mission is to provide a secure nurturing and educational environment conducive to learning through multi-sensory approaches. While we offer a program to meet the emotional, social, moral, intellectual, and physical needs of each child, our goal is to provide educational opportunities in which we promote every child’s growth and development enabling them to make positive life choices.

Our Philosophy : 

 

Toddlers use their bodies, their senses and their emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world. At our bilingual speaking Daycare, we help them do that in the ways most meaningful and effective for them. And we have lots of ways, from “Five little monkey's jumping on the bed!”  during Morning Circle Time to the daily exploration of Active Investigation Time.

 

Toddlers are bundles of energy and we make sure your toddler

is using that energy in productive ways by balancing

individual attention with group experiences. 

 

Our rooms include areas for playing, learning, sleeping, 

eating and diapering that create a safe and empowering

environment.  The rooms are also divided into general areas

that meet your child's needs to : 

​

 

Move: Here children can use their muscles and bodies for crawling, climbing, jumping, dancing and playing games. This increases physical coordination skills and is a way young children make connections in their brains.

 

Explore & Express: Our area for sensory exploration and creative expression. We encourage children to explore their inquisitive nature by experimenting with open-ended materials such as crayons, paint, water, sand, and modeling dough.

 

Relax: Our rooms include a big library and are also set up for quiet and cozy times, where we can read and tell stories or have conversations.

 

There it’s trying all the playground equipment or pouring cereal, our childcare gives toddlers plenty of opportunities to investigate, explore and play in a safe, secure, yet stimulating environment. Above all of this, you can be sure to know that your child will receive a lot of love and attention.
