Our Programs

We use a comprehensive curriculum to plan developmentally appropriate experiences for our children. Children are encouraged to make their own choices about the different experiences they engage in throughout the day. By giving children the power to make choices we are promoting independence and allowing children to work in their comfort zones.

At Jelly Bean Junction we realize that caring for any child is a partnership between the families and our staff. We feel that it is important to keep the lines of communication open between families and staff because families know their children best. We have an open door policy and encourage families to visit our centers at any time.

10 Signs of a Great Preschool

1

Children spend most of their time playing and working with materials or other children. They do not wander aimlessly, and they are not expected to sit quietly for long periods of time.

4

The classroom is decorated with children's original artwork, their own writing with invented spelling, and stories dictated by children to teachers.

7

Children have an opportunity to play outside every day. Outdoor play is never sacrificed for more instructional time.

10

Children and their parents look forward to school. Parents feel secure about sending their child to the program. Children are happy to attend; they do not cry reguarly or complain of feeling sick.

2

Children have access to various activities throughout the day. Look for assorted building blocks and other construction materials; props for pretend play, picture books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such as matching games, pegboards, and puzzles. Children should not all be doing the same thing at the same time.

5

Children learn numbers and the alphabet in the context of their everyday experiences. The natural world of plants and animals and meaningful activities like cooking, taking attendance, or serving snack provide the basis for learning activities.

8

Teachers read books to children individually or in small groups throughout the day, not just at group story time.

3

Teachers work with individual children, small groups, and the whole group at different times during the day. They do not spend all their time with the whole group.

6

Children work on projects and have long periods of time (at least one hour) to play and explore. Worksheets are used little if at all.

9

Curriculum is adapted for those who are ahead, as well as those who need additional help. Teachers recognize that children's different background and experiences mean that they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way.

What's the Word Out There?

Melissa Burgess

My son attends this center full time. We have been attending since he was 6 weeks old. The care that we receive is amazing. I love the pictures that I get during the day through their Tadpole system. The staff is great. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for childcare.

Megan Meiners

Our daughter loves attending Jelly Bean. She has made many friends and loves all her teachers. I also think she’s learning new things everyday. Her progress from being in the infant-to toddler- to preschool room is very evident. I think her time spent here is very valuable.

I absolutely love this day care! My daughter has been going for almost two years and she loves the teachers! Everyone is so friendly and hands on with her care. They have gone above and beyond for her and working with me. I love the little gifts they do for holidays.

Melissa Cook

I love this daycare so much! After removing my kids from two daycares prior to Jelly Bean, I was extremely uneasy to place them in another. Jelly Bean Junction has exceeded my expectations. I'm beyond satisfied with every teacher my children have had.

Ricky Hucker

My son has been going to Jelly Bean for over a year now, since he was 6 weeks old. They have been great with following our schedule with him, giving advice on how or when to help get him to the next step developmentally, and much more.

Elaina Knabe

My son and daughter have been attending Jelly Bean for the past 3 years. They adore their teachers and my son asks everyday if he gets to go to school and play with his friends. They have a great play based learning environment and it is always clean and organized. I get daily pictures and updates about my kids while I'm at work.

Raquel Kalton- Barney

They take amazing care of my 1 year old. Their play is always geared towards their ages and learning and so much fun and age appropriate. The meals are healthy and fun and age appropriate. The director, Amy is fantastic and my son's teacher, Abbie is awesome as well! The entire staff is really great and helpful.

Molly Windham

We love Jellybean Junction in Milford! My son is always so happy there and as a parent that’s the beat feeling in the world. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher of 8 years I know early childhood development and education. I’d say it was a tough search for us to find a daycare that had everything that I thought it should.

Lauren Healy

We have loved our time at Jelly Bean Junction and would have stayed through kindergarten had we not moved. Colleen, the director, is organized and communicative, and the teachers in the infant classroom are wonderful. They have taken great care of our daughter, and you can tell that they truly love the children.

Lindsey Powell

We have been going here for almost 5 years, and have had a great experience. The preschool aged room is great , my child has learned so much in the preschool room, I feel confident that he is being well prepared for his transition to kindergarten. The staff throughout the whole daycare knows each child personally.

Sara Overbeck

Jelly Bean Junction was a blessing in disguise for my family! My husband and I were very nervous about leaving our 12-week old son there, with teachers we didn’t know. Fast forward 2 years later and our little guy has learned so much, so quickly by being there! Everyone is very nice and willing to listen to parents’ concerns.

Katie Richardson

We LOVE Jelly Bean Junction in Loveland! Our 3 yo son has been there for about 3 months and doing so well. The administrators are so welcoming and kind. The entire building is clean and organized. His teacher Miss Monica is wonderful. So engaging with the children - always incorporating and activity to keep them busy and learning.

Anna

I’m so glad that we fond this place for our daughter! The stuff in Jelly Bean is really exceptional - my daughter’s teachers are super professional. She was in infant class and now she attends toddler group and I always had a feeling that she is loved there. We had experience in other daycares and I can tell you that finding a good childcare place is truly a blessing!

Molly

We recently moved into the area and had to switch our two year old son's daycare as a result of the move. From my initial calls to Jelly Bean Junction I could tell the staff was super friendly and willing to answer any of my questions! When our son started my husband and I both felt really good about our son's teachers and their care & interest in our individual child.
