Our Programs
We believe all children have the right to feel good about themselves and it is the responsibility of all teachers to nurture the child’s self esteem.
We believe the home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and compliment the family in order to promote the healthy development of children and parents.
We believe loving, trusting and respecting each child’s needs for physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth by providing diverse experiences in a supportive environment.
We believe each person is a unique individual and has his or her own needs. Each person has a right to meet this need in their own way and on their own time. However, one of the responsibilities of having rights is recognizing and respecting the rights of others.
Curriculum
Children learn through play. They learn through play, experimentation, exploration, and testing. Learning should be a joyful, natural experience. We have chosen a curriculum based on the developmental needs of the children each the room and to foster individual growth through opportunities for exploration. 90% of brain growth occurs from zero to 5 years old. Each class’s lesson plans and your child’s class flexible schedule are posted on the parent’s board in your child’s room. We incorporate current trends in Early Childhood and School Age Education and then structure this curriculum to meet the needs of the majority of the children in the group. Our curriculum, although it will vary depending on age, is guided by the following underlying principles:
- Children learn through dynamic investigation
- Children instigate their own learning
- Learning comes from open-ended experiences
- Adults are facilitators of children’s learning
