6. Child Care Ca acit
According to title 22, a large family child care can serve up to 12children, or up to 14children when
the child care has 2 children of 6 years old and older. Thus, MISS will accept up to 12children, or
13children when MISS has 2 children of 6 years old and older including the owner's child. MISS
will reserve a space for the owner's child who is 6 years old at the date of December 30, 2016. The
owner's child will not attend Full time program daily basis, however, the space needs to be reserved
for the child in case of sickness and need to stay home.

includin the owner's child
7. Staff Plan
MISS will hire 1full time teacher and 1part time teacher. The Child Care owner will take the role of
a head teacher of a class.
8. Indoor Space
MISS will use the Sun Room area and Living Room Area of the building. Sun Room will be built
subject to the closing of the Huntington Beach City Administrative Permission Process. Sun Room
area will have approx. 414 sqf. Living Room Area has approx. 322 sqf. The total available indoor
s ace f r child care is 736s f. This allows approx. 52 s f. r child indoor s ace when child care has
14children. According to title 22, there is no required minimum indoor/outdoor space for a large
family child care, however, center based child care facilities must have minimum 35 sqf per child.
Compare with this, MISS will have very spacious indoor spaceto be used for child care. Current
living room function will move to one of the bed rooms which is currently not used for any purpose.
9. Outdoor Space
MISS's will use mainly rear yard and side walk area as playground which has total approx. 1197sqf
For the safety reason and to keep normal noise level, only half of children, which is 6 or 7 children,
will use outdoor space at a time during outdoor play time. MISS will separate its children into 2
groups and these 2 groups will take turns for playground. While one group uses outdoor area, the
other group takes lunch or does indoor play. This will allow child care at least 171s f outdoor ace
per child. According to title 22, there is no required minimum indoor/outdoor space for a large
family child care, however, center based child care facilities are required to have minimum 75 sqf
per child. Compare with this, MISS will have very spacious outdoor space to be used for child care.
The lot also has additional usable outdoor space in front area, which is 814 sqf. Thus, the total
availableoutdoors aceforchildcareis2011s f.Thismeans,thesitehasmorethan 143sqfusable
outdoorspaceperchildfor 14children.Thoughthisusuallydoesnothappen,allchildrenwillbe in
outdoor area at a time when the cases of fire/earthquake drill,. MISS will also place 2 playground
structures in outdoor area, which are a play house and small slide. Also MISS will always have other
toys such as LEGO on a blanket,jump ropes during outdoor play time. This will naturally avoid all
children from gathering one place and raising noise level up, as well as avoid children from injuries.

10.ParkingPlan
Average drop-off/pick-up time is 10minutes. MISS will also encourage our parents to minimize
their drop-off/pick-up time. MISS will have 3 cars parking space in its lot (Drive Way area) beside a
garage. The house owners use the car gar

11.Curriculum A roach
One of MISS's academic goals is to develop skills of children's critical thinking. MISS believes that the
Montessori philosophy is the best to reach the goal. MISS's classrooms will be carefully set up to meet
truly authentic Montessori philosophy and to allow children learn independently and with individual
pace.
Montessori Philoso h
The Montessori Method of education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centered
educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. It is a view of
the child as one who is naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning
i
n
a

u
p

o
r
t

,
thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It is an approachthat values the human spirit and the
development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive. Adult role in Montessori
philosophy is to provide "Prepared Environment" to allow children the excitement of learning b

TheMontes oriA roach
In Montessori philosophy, each child is respected as a unique individual. Children learn in different
ways, on their ownpace. One of the main role of teachers, as a guide, to allow children develop their
natural desire to learn and seek knowledge is to prepare the classroom environment carefully to fulfill
this goal.
6
•
Classroomdesign:Montessori classroom need to be designed to allow children to work both
individually and as a group, using individual tables and work mats. Teachers carefully present
their classrooms not to disturb children's concentration, such as by using bright wall papers,
filling the wall with children's art works or posters. Classroom has to provide quiet space to
allow children to be alone, such as by providing a reading corner or a peach table.
Teachersasa"guide":Children are centered in Montessori classrooms. Teachers do not teach.
Instead, they guide, observe children, they create and environment. Teachers know when to
intervene and when to step back.
Multi-aginggroup:Montessori classrooms are composed of students whose ages typically span
3 years. Many times, children learn more by observing close older children than from adults.
Not only that, older children learn how to take responsibility and take care of younger classmates.
LearningMaterials:All Montessori materials are made for hands-on learning. These materials
are displayed on open, easily accessible shelves beautifully and neatly. All materials must have
its control of error to allow children to think and figure out their mistakes and correct them.
Through this process, children develop their logical/critical thinking skill.
Bunn ualEducation A roach
Another MISS's main goal is to provide children a fully bilingual environment. MISS's main focus of
second language is Japanese. This means, one teacher speaks only Japanese language to children and the
other teacher speaks only English to children throughout child care hour. Most of preschools or child
cares have limited hours of second language lessons. Unfortunately, this does not make children learn
second language deeper level. MISS's unique environment isjust as same as bilingual family, one
parent speaks one language and other parent speaks one language to their children. This allows children
to learn second language better and make it more fluent. Also MISS will provide additional second
language lessons during after day care time twice a week without any additional cost beside extended
day care fee. Parents can avoid spendingtheir weekend time for children's second language classes.
Science A roach
Children are born eager to learn. Children have a sense of wonder and natural curiosity about objects
and events to explore the world. Their curiosity is the cue for young children to develop. If they watch a
line of ants, they have a question "What is this?" and then start exploring by touching, watching closer,
or even trying to put them in their mouth. This is science for young children. Science for this age is not
just to do fun experiments. It is to find out about everyday environment that surroundsthem and it
comes from hands-on experiences. Our goal by bringing scienceto our curriculum is for children to
develop a rich interconnected knowledge base about the world around them.
Whyis science important inpreschool curriculum?
When we bring science to preschool curriculum, there are a lot of benefits for children's development.
Open-ended experimentation develops children's problem solving skills.Not only that, the scientific
approach of 'trial and error" welcomes error. Children's social skills develop best when they have
opportunities to learn and practice them in the context of meaningful activities. Science experimenting
activities are also important to foster language and literacy. Children build their vocabularies the best
when it's related to the actual experiences. Also, science demonstrations help children become more
comfortable in large-group conversations. These are not all, butjust a few examples bringing science to
preschool curriculum.

How to expandMontessori curriculum withscience-base
In Authentic Montessori classrooms, science is categorized into zoology, botany, biology, chemistry,
physics and astronomy. However, due to the limit of classroom space, work materials in each category
are usually not enough. Beside,those activities are usually not systematized and children use each work
materials individually. They are not given enough time and opportunities to deepen their thinking about
the phenomena and extend their activities.
MISS's science curriculum will be made on weekly basis, to deepen the thinking about a topic. All daily
activities are based on active and open-ended research for new knowledge. It involves not only
observation, children working together in building theories, testing theories and then evaluating what
worked, what didn't and why. For example, if a concept of a week is "leaf', we could start by showing
children a picture of "rake" and discuss what it is used. As a next step, take children outside and collect
leaves and show them an actual rake. They have an opportunity to touch and collect fallen leaves, and
also use rake. In the end of the class, children evaluate their theories. Through a week, children are given
opportunities to explore leaves and build their knowledge.
Also, teachers enrich the science concept in each area of a Montessori classroom. For the example of
leaf, teacher could place tweezers work to pick veins from a leaf with tweezers. In sensorial Area, we
can place a mystery bag with various kinds of leaves. By relating a science curriculum topic to daily
Montessori activities, we increase children's interests and awareness toward science.
