Philosophy
Our Early Childhood Education is committed to developing the child as a "whole". The program functions on the conviction that while children have predictable stages of growth, they move through these stages at their own pace in their own unique ways.
We Believe ...
-
Each child is an individual who deserves to be respected and appreciated for his/her own unique character.
-
The cultural values of each child and his/her family should be recognized and cherished.
-
Each child must feel warmth, security, and empowerment while learning.
-
Each child should be given opportunities to grow and learn in all areas of development: Cognitive, Social, Emotional, and Language.
-
Each child's unique abilities and interests, strengths, and needs, should be considered when planning teacher-directed and child-created activities.
