Parents log on to watch children play Cindy Bornemann, founder and president of the Discovery Isle Child Development
Center near the Poway Business Park, says her new "GuardianCam Internet Viewing
System" ---- by which parents are able to log on from work or home to check on how
their child's day is going ---- is getting lots of attention and kudos from her
clientele. There are two centers in addition to the Poway location, one in San Marcos and one in Carlsbad. They were created to provide academic and developmentally-based curriculum alternated with play activities. The Poway facility offers three programs ---- infants, toddlers, and preschoolers ---- and Cindy says a large part of her time is spent in selecting "career teachers." "This is not a glorified baby-sitting service," she said. Most of the staff have degrees in early childhood education, and work continuously with the children in the 20,000-square-foot facility, teaching age-appropriate curriculum in pre-reading, pre-math, art, science, health and safety, cooking and dramatic arts. And now, thanks to new computer technology, parents who feel the need to check up on their child's progress at the center can do it with the click of a mouse. Discovery Isle's Web site, www.discoveryisle.com, requires no special software and has plenty of security to ensure privacy. "Everyone has their own private password, and can even control what they want other family members to be able to access," says Cindy. "The families in general seem to have a very positive response to the service. We even have one family where the grandparents, who live in Hawaii, can check in on their grandchild." |
