About Seeds of Knowledge
Teachers
Seeds of Knowledge offers preschool and
daycare for ages 4 months to 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.
My name is Annie Shearer and I am the Director of
Seeds of Knowledge. Seeds of Knowledge was
previously run under the name Play 4 Hours. Play 4
Hours opened in October of 2007 and I took ownership
in January 2010. My background includes extensive
training, experience, and passion for children to learn in
a nurturing environment.
I graduated from Purdue University in December of
2007, with a Bachelors of Art degree in Elementary
Education. After graduating, I taught 2nd grade in
Noblesville, IN. Although I loved the elementary aged
kids, my dream has always been to own my own
preschool/daycare! I worked at Play 4 hours nearly 2
years before being offered to take over the business. It
is my goal to create and implement activities beneficial
to each child’s learning. I strive to meet the needs of
all of the students. I also understand learning can be a
difficult task at this young age, and believe all children
should be supported in their abilities to learn. Children
are unique in their own ways, and are shaped by
everyday experiences. It is important to me to make
these experiences not only fun, exciting, and
educational, but also inspire them to ascend in the
steps of learning.
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.
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.
Daily Activities Schedule
Upon Arrival (7am-8am) - Welcome friends/teachers
and have free choice activities.
Breakfast - Served between 8am 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-2:30pm) – 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 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 2:30 pm and 3:00 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
2:30 pm, and immediately go into the kitchen for snack.
They will then go upstairs to their room 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.
