We view each child as an individual, unique in development, learning style, personality, and special talents. We believe that children learn best through play and hands-on manipulation and exploration of materials and their environment.
Our program and teaching are based on developmentally appropriate practice and activities being incorporated and available to children at various stages of development. The program and curriculum focus on the whole child and is being designed to meet the diverse social, physical, emotional and cognitive needs of individual children. Additionally, a sense of self-respect, concern for others, independence and environmental awareness are fostered through positive guidance and problem solving techniques.
