Our Philosophy:
Our philosophy is based on the research of prominent child development theorists, including Piaget and Vygotsky, as well as the national accreditation standards of care and education. We support and nurture children as they:
- Develop secure relationships.
- Learn through their play supported by planned, developmentally appropriate curriculum.
- Celebrate diversity.
- Build respect for individual needs and interests.
|
| It is our goal to build a sense of community with children and families while supporting individual growth and development. Children will develop caring relationships with other children and adults, physical habits for a healthy life and skills in thinking and problem-solving. |
