ACTIVITIES

It's a typical morning at Little Flower Development Center, where one can find our Rosebuds (Infants) strolling around campus enjoying the fresh air.

On the playground, some Daisies and Sunflowers (Preschoolers) run, jump, ride tricycles or head down the slide while others are tending to their gardens.

Inside, Daffodils (Toddlers) are painting and Wildflowers (Preschoolers) are singing and praying. The children are so excited to learn and grow.

As we interact with our teachers and our friends, we are learning life skills. As we build relationships with others, we are secure in the knowledge that we are loved.

At Little Flower, we believe that children learn through play. Children have opportunities to make choices and decisions, manipulate materials and use language in meaningful ways, and learn at their individual pace.

Our daily activities include concepts related to:

Spiritual values
Language and literacy
Science
Logic and mathematics
Social relationships
Music and movement
Art
Dramatic Play
Small and large motor skills

On field trips, our children enjoy visits to: children's theatre productions, parks, OMSI, the Oregon Zoo, ice skating rinks, and a pumpkin patch, among others.

Our all-school activities include centerwide prayer each morning, ice cream socials, a Christmas program, goal-setting and assessment conferences, and home visits.

We strongly encourage parents to become involved in our program by participating in classroom activities, helping out on field trips and attending school functions and fundraisers including the SSMO Campus Schools' annual auction.

We plan many special events for parents, families and children; and we are always happy to welcome parents during our daily activities.

At Little Flower Development Center, every child is unique. Every day is special.
