Our philosophy is to provide a well-balanced, developmentally appropriate
program for each child in a loving, nurturing, safe and accepting environment.
We believe that preschool children learn best through creative, hands-on play
in a setting that is rich with learning opportunities. We provide activities, materials,
and guidance that enhance childrens physical, intellectual, social and emotional
growth. We help children learn to think independently, communicate effectively, and
solve problems. We integrate key areas of content for school preparedness including
literacy, mathematics, science, technology, creative expression and the arts, health
and safety and social studies.
We help children develop trust, self-esteem, confidence and security through an
environment of love, consistency, and gentle guidance. We think of ourselves as a
community of caregivers, each invested in the success of every child. We believe that
we are role models and teach by modeling kindness, consideration of others,
acceptance and lack of bias. We recognize and respect the uniqueness and potential
of each child. We honor the important role of parents and families in determining
what is best for their child. We view cultural diversity as enriching our program, and
strive for open and respectful communication that helps guide us to respond to the
diverse needs of the children and families in our program.
