Welcome Allentown, Pennsylvania!

Little Archie's Clubhouse proudly announces the grand opening of the newly licensed Day Care Center of Allentown, Pennsylvania located at 635 W. Turner Street between 6th and 7th Streets. We offer quality early childhood education, infant childcare and the uninhibited tender love and care that we believe all children deserve in a clean, safe, Christian environment. 

We bring over 7 years of exemplary service experience and will prepare your little ones for life in the "big school"! We believe that learning begins at birth; that newborn's minds are the tabula rasa (clean slate)  just waiting to be filled with information so we offer fun-filled, age-appropriate academic learning experiences for all groups including, infants, toddlers, Pre-K, and school-aged up to age 12 for expert after-school tutoring and homework assistance.

The experience at Little Archie's Clubhouse will leave a lasting impression on all of our children as they grow and develop through the amazing journey of early childhood education and matriculate into life-long learners.

For inquiries, Our phone number is 610-351-2541 our Email address is littlearchie256@gmail.com.  Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7am - 6pm.

Why is Early Childhood Education Important?

• Far too many children enter school not prepared.
• When unprepared children begin school behind, they tend to fall further and further behind.
• Children who are at risk of not doing well in school gain significant benefits from quality childcare.
• All children need to enter school ready and able to succeed.

Cognitively:

• Improves school performance
• Raises math and language abilities
• Sharpens thinking/attention skills
• Reduces special education placement
• Lowers school drop out rates

Socially and emotionally:

• Improves and strengthen interactions with peers
• Decreases problem behaviors
• Encourages more exploratory behavior
• Helps adjustment to the demands of formal schooling

Long-term positive results and cost savings of Early Childhood Education:

• Increases lifelong earning potential
• Achieves better academic outcomes
• Lowers rates of teen pregnancy and incarceration
• Improves recruitment and retention of parents who work

January 2013

Welcome to 2013!

January themes:

Snow Days!

This month our little scholars are exploring the wonder of winter and discovering what fun things can be done on snowy days! What kinds of clothing are worn during cold, blistering snowy days? What parts of the world always have snowy days? What parts of the world never have snow or cold days and why not?



Day and Night

Our science theme focuses on the differences between day and night.  What do we see in the sky during the day? Where did these things come from? What happens to them at night? What interesting things do we see in the sky at night? What happens way up there?

Election Day!

Election Day at Little Archie's Clubhouse

Today we learned about the process of election in the United States of America. Our scholars celebrated the four year tenure of, who they affectionately called, "Rockabama" and asked questions about the incumbant, "Mitty".

We had an election for President of Little Archie's.  The winner would be President for the next 4 days! The candidates were determined by their ability to identify the most alphabet letters and numbers .... and the winners were:

 

Aaron Benjamin and Janasia Perrin

 

Each candidate shared what they would do to make Little Archie's a better place;

 

 

The children discussed their options and placed their ballots; "J" for Janasia and "A" for Aaron

 

Janasia's promise for more snacks and more play-time clinched the election for her and she became President of Little Archie's Clubhouse

 

Congratulations Janasia Perrin

 

 

 

Welcome November!

First, I'd like to express our heartfelt thoughts and well-wishes to all of those affected by Hurricane Sandy which devastated many homes, families and communities this week. As we prepare for recovery, please know that our prayers go out to you all. 
                                                                              Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Archie and Cynthia McInnis

Allow your tastebuds to discover the power of pumpkin! Discover the many different uses of the pumpkin and share this information with your child.

Help is to bring emphasis to our letters, number, shape and colors of the month! Ex. "Tell Miss Nikki, Miss Cynthia or Miss Chelsea that 'H' says Hospital! Pumpkins are orange and rectangles have two longer sides and two shorter sides"
