Statement of Philosophy

We believe in the uniqueness of every child. All children develop at a different pace. We feel the differences which exist among children and within their family experiences should be recognized and built upon so all might grow in the capacity to relate and develop as human beings. Our center is staffed by responsible, caring and well trained teachers who provide a loving and comfortable environment for the children.

Our goal for all children is the development of a positive self concept. When children find success and approval in preschool, their confidence grows. They begin to build the kind of self-image that will allow them to reach out freely to others and want others to reach out to them.

We have created an environment which offers variety in the fullest sense: in people, experiences and materials. We recognize play as the natural mode of learning for the young child. Within the context of play, our curriculum emphasizes sensory awareness, independent thinking and decision making.

We believe that education is more effective when parents and teachers work together. Through classroom participation and family education programs, parents and professionals can learn from each other. Their partnership promotes and enriches the learning environment for children at home and at school.
