Philosophy

The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing.  Learning requires observing, exploring, and experimenting to find out how things work and why they work the way they do. Children expand their imaginations creatively through use of various mediums. Through use of real materials, children begin to take their explorations from a concrete level to an abstract level of thinking. Children explore the world around them by using all their senses: touching, tasting, smelling, looking and listening. 

Our educational curriculum is based upon child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities. Teachers plan and supervise activities, which enhances children’s self-esteem, encourages problem solving, and facilitates language development. We respect children’s developmental stages by tailoring activities and expectations to the age, interests and abilities of the individual child. The activities planned for the children, the way the environment is organized, the selection of toys and materials, their daily schedule and the language staff use with the children are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and to give each child a successful start in school. Above all else, we want children to enjoy their day, make friends and to benefit developmentally from their child care experience.
