We all know that school prepares children for the<br />
world – but what prepares children for school? Preschool,<br />
of course! “If you want your child to be prepared for<br />
kindergarten, be sure to send them to preschool,” said Katie<br />
Seifert, Center Director at Red Rover Children’s Learning<br />
Center. “Typically, kids start preschool between ages 3 to 5.”<br />
Red Rover Children’s Learning Center, a<br />
developmental child care organization, is located at 3445<br />
Spring Street, Davenport, IA. The Center provides care for<br />
children ages six weeks to six years old.<br />
At Red Rover, kids learn a variety of topics in<br />
preschool, including knowledge of colors and shapes,<br />
and how to count by ones, fives, tens and twenties. Those<br />
basics are only the tip of the iceberg. The Center’s hands-on<br />
approach is centered around age-appropriate developmental<br />
experiences. The home-like surroundings provide a<br />
stimulating environment that encourages play, learning, and<br />
exploration.<br />
Red Rover offers Handwriting Without Tears®, a<br />
program in which kids learn that letters are made from long<br />
lines, short lines, big curves and little curves. “It’s a cool<br />
program and the kids get pretty excited about it,” Katie said.<br />
While academic matters are highly important, social<br />
skills are also part of the Red Rover experience. “We help<br />
kids to learn to share, and to help each other,” Katie said.<br />
“We give them a sense of ‘yours, mine, and ours’ when it<br />
come to sharing. Also, they learn more about life just by<br />
being around other kids and the staff members. They get to<br />
see what life is like outside of their own households.”<br />

Recently, the kids at Red Rover learned about the<br />
deaf community. “A person with disabilities can still do<br />
things – they just might have to do them differently,” Katie<br />
said. “We help kids to realize that all people are different,<br />
Staff members at Red Rover teach children as young<br />
as four to six months some very basic sign language, so they<br />

“An example of when they<br />
might use simple sign language is if the little one is eating<br />
Katie noted that it is always important to project<br />
an optimistic mindframe around the children. “We tell staff<br />
members, if they are having a problem that day, they need<br />
to leave it at the door,” she said. “When they’re with the<br />
children, they concentrate on making each day a positive,<br />
enjoyable educational experience.”<br />
