Caring, preparing and enriching. Youth Enrichment Services, Inc a non-profit organization under the State of South Dakota and has grown to become one of the largest non-profit childcare providers in South Dakota. Summer Enrichment and Afterschool Enrichment programs stimulate children's learning with a curriculum that is based upon Out of School Time accreditation standards while promoting a fun and engaging environment. Early Childhood programs use The Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized curriculum which is recommended by the State of SD for its 2010 Education Initiative. In partnership with the Sioux Falls School District, Community-based Head Start helps ready children for school while their parents work and/or attend school. We receive Sioux Empire United Way financial assistance to support working families with subsidized childcare. Our staff work with families to build upon each child's temperament, interests, culture, capabilities and learning styles.
Truks-N-Trykes day care celebrates child growth, development and learning in a creative atmosphere where you will feel like family. All of our day care centers have an energetic, kind and happy staff to provide licensed care to your special little ones. The Truks-N-Trykes philosophy is to provide an environment of love and learning that extends the mental, physical, and social development of children. Our staff is hand-picked and carefully screened. They are trained each month in ongoing early childhood education. Learning through play and exploration is encouraged within the Truks-N-Trykes approach to early childhood education. We encourage you to join us on Facebook where we post daily activities and events for the children.
At Truks-N-Tykes @ Golden Gateway, our hands-on educational method helps children learn through play. We balance structured activities with free play, which helps kids thrive. Our center offers care for a wide range of children — from infants all the way to school-age — through all-day preschool and Pre-K, and Junior-K led by a thoughtful, educated staff. Junior-K is specifically designed to help kids develop skills for success in kindergarten, but it still prioritizes play as the ‘hard work’ of childhood. Students explore letter recognition, phonetics, fine motor activities and math/science each day. Our goal is for each student to enter kindergarten with confidence in both academic and social skills.
