About Seeds of Knowledge Preschool and Daycare

Seeds of Knowledge offers preschool and daycare for ages 2 months through 10 years of age. We are a registered daycare ministry of Floyds Knobs Christian Church. Our curriculum has a primary emphasis on the individual child. Our classrooms are center-based with new activities and lessons planned regularly. Rooms are designed so that children have numerous choices within an environment of maximum learning. Teachers act primarily as facilitators encouraging a strong partnership between the home and the daycare.

Seeds of Knowledge is designed for children to explore newly found independence. Through individualized prescribed instruction, they engage in stimulating activities led by skilled and trained Lead Teachers. During their day, children take part in “hands-on” social interactions, physical activity, preschool, arts, crafts, and dramatics which build on their individual character.

While under careful guidance and direction, the children are given opportunities to express themselves and to be creative through active learning. We have prepared organized “imagination stations” that are developmentally appropriate for them to interact freely with peers and designed for team development in a diverse setting.

Seeds of Knowledge was previously run under the name Play 4 Hours. Play 4 Hours opened in October of 2007 and Annie Shearer took ownership in January 2010.

All teachers are trained and certified in First Aid and CPR. Each of them are involved in the community and have several years experience working with and caring for children of all ages.

We will continue to grow professionally through further education and training with the help of my staff and the community.

I graduated from Purdue University in 2007, which a Bachelor's of Art Degree in Elementary Education. I taught 2nd grade before realizing my true passion is working with younger children!

Daily Activities Schedule

Upon Arrival (7am-9am) - Welcome friends/teachers and have free choice activities.

Breakfast - Served between 7am and 9am.

The mornings are designated for preschool activities that enhance listening skills and fine and gross motor skills. In addition, children will learn as they have fun with circle time, shared reading, art, singing songs, and exploring the outdoors.

Preschool (9am-11am) – Students are assessed and placed into classrooms based on their age and/or skill level. Each classroom is set up and designed to meet the need of each and every child. We have two curriculums; one designed for the toddlers, and one designed for the 4-5 year olds. I am confident with these curriculums, your child will be ready for kindergarten when the time comes!

Lunch - Served between 11 am and 12 pm.

Nap Time (12pm-2:00pm) – This time is used for all children to relax and have down time. For those children who do not nap, they are taken into a separate room, and are allowed a movie, games, books, and/or quiet activities at this time. *All babies have their own crib. All older children have their own cot which is placed in their classroom during nap time.

Snack - Served between 2:00 and 2:30 pm.

The afternoons are designated for structured and self-guided activities with peers. They will participate in: outside time, pretend play, games, art, story time, dress-up, and more.

After School – These children will be dropped off around 3:00 pm. They will go upstairs to their room for snack, and complete any homework with one of the teachers. When homework is complete, these kids will do an activity or craft before ending the day with free time.
