We believe we are a high quality learning center, focusing on the needs of the families and children that attend. We hire kind, caring individuals who understand the need for young children to be in a nurturing environment, surrounded by kindness and developmentally appropriate activities and stimulation. If at any time any member of any community believes that somehow this is being compromised we ask for open communication. We welcome constructive criticism, knowing that without input from others, we cannot do our job.

We believe that a high quality early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children while responding to the needs of families.
Sumner School District Learning Centers follow the National Association for the Education of Young Children (N.A.E.Y.C) Position Statement on Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs. It is as follows:
“In recent years, a trend toward increased emphasis on formal instruction in academic skills has emerged in early childhood programs. This trend toward formal academic instruction for younger children is based on misconceptions about early learning (Elkind, 1986). Despite the trend among some educators to formalize instruction, there has been no comparable evidence of change in what young children need for optimal development or how they learn. In fact, a growing body of research has emerged recently affirming that children learn most effectively through a concrete, play-oriented approach to early childhood education.
