About Us

Venture Kidz Children's Center offers families State Certified Childcare and Preschool program for children 24 months to 6 years old.

Your child's preschool years are a time of great growth and development. Through their natural curiosity and desire to learn, they gain language, social, and cognitive skills which are vital to their future education. They have endless questions and are learning to manipulate their environment. These formative years should be filled with many opportunities for them to explore the world around them. The staff at VentureKidz Children's Center are committed to helping your child grow and learn during this most important time in their life.

Our center offers many benefits that can enhance your child's growth. Some of these include a small mixed age group, less exposure to illness, a nurturing family environment, and the same providers interacting with your child each day. We have completed extensive interviews and inspections done by the State of Oregon Child Care Division and the County Health Department. Parents can be assured that at VentureKidz Children's Center, their child will be cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

VALUES TEACHING

We incorporate Christian Family values including honor and respect in able to teach children the way in which they should conduct themselves. In this age of disrespect, it is important that families change the negative course of our times by showing respect for those who are in authority roles including family members and parents. We also incorporate Christian holidays in our program by celebrating Christ’s birth, reading Bible stories, singing Sunday School songs, promoting sibling type relationships and many other ways. We also include some holidays from other countries and cultures. This is not the primary focus, only part of the children’s care. Your help is needed in this area as we are faced with many challenges in today’s world.

BEHAVIOR

“Normal” is a term that refers to a broad range of behaviors. Some behaviors, such as biting in toddlers is considered normal until severity and frequency are quantified. Similarly, attention span, aggression, letter reversals, language development, oppositional behavior and toilet training may indicate either a developmental stage or a need for further study. If your child exhibits behavior that is out of the norm, we will make very effort to research the phenomenon, make observations and notes, and share with you what we have discovered. We may make recommendations as to a course of action that will benefit your child. All actions are made with the best interests of your child in mind.

DISCIPLINE POLICY

In the process of growing up and learning there is always a margin for error. When we are young, that margin is very wide. We as parents and adults must remember that children are supposed to make errors. We provide correction; thus learning is taking place. We provide positive guidance, redirection, and the setting of clear-cut limits. Our goal is to help the child develop self- control, self-esteem and respect for others. Verbal discussions of error often achieve success. On occasion, however, defiance comes into play. We must deal with defiance with control and in a timely, just manner. A “quiet time”, “time out” or “thinking moment” is a time where a child may reflect upon their error for a brief moment. This also separates them from the group if needed
