We are enjoying summer at Giant Step and hope you are, too! I wanted to take a moment to highlight that some of our forms were recently updated on the website.
We have a new Rate Sheet, with rates that took effect July 1st, 2024. Families will see this change reflected in the latest bill (August 1st) due August 21st, 2024.
We have also updated our menu and our daily schedule. The summer schedule is effective until August 1st, after which we will follow our school year schedule.
Digital Application is now available!
We are hiring immediately for a Staff Aide!
Job duties include, but are not limited to, cleaning and sanitizing, preparing and cooking meals, diaper changing, assisting the teacher and director with daily duties, and aiding children with their daily needs.
Hours would be Monday through Thursday during the school year (hours will differ during summer months), 7am-2pm. This can be discussed with the director. Must be a minimum age of 16.
This job starts at minimum wage, and benefits we can offer are paid holidays, sick pay, and free child care while you work (given space and meeting our requirements)
Please stop by the center, call (970-675-2671), or email (giantstep@centurytel.net) to pick up an application, or fill out our new digital application!
If you have any questions, you can contact Kirstie using any of the options listed above!
Open until filled.
We used paper towel tubes instead of paint brushes today!
This is a great example of process art. Even with the same materials (paper, paint, and tubes for stamping), no two pieces are exactly alike! In the early years, allowing kids to explore without too many adult expectations is key to their hands-on way of learning.
If you would like to know more, this is a great article from NAEYC!
We will be closed now through New Year’s Day. Public school resumes January 8th 2024 in Rangely.
We will be open for childcare January 2nd to January 4th, 2024.* If you are registered with us, and would like to arrange care on these days, call with your needs on the 2nd to check availability.
(If you are a regular and you signed up on the sheet before break, we will be expecting you.)
Until then, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
*Please remember that care on these dates is not included in Prepaid Preschool. Families will be billed according to the amount of time their children attend on these days. Please see Rates and Forms for more information.
In an effort to better serve the community, we are trying to fill out our website. In addition to basic information and paperwork for Giant Step, you can now find:
What is a “Play-based” Approach to Learning?
Whether you are one of our current families or just a member of the community, we would love to hear what you like about the website or what we could improve. Would any other information or features be useful to you?
Please share as well to spread the word!
