Rhymes & Reasons mission is to provide exceptional programs that implement the best practices of teaching and learning in a nurturing environment where children learn, play, and grow along side their same age peers.
We strive to:
*Create a warm, loving environment. *Work together with families to provide support, assistance, and resources in the care and education of the children. *Nurture each childs unique qualities and potential. *Understand and embrace the value of diversity in children from different cultures, ethnicities, means, and family structures.Want more information?
Our Philosophy, and therefore our curriculum, is based on our understanding of how learning occurs. We believe that all members of our community (children, families, and staff) are of promise and potential that is realized through collaborative inquiry, reflection, and attention to interactive and nurturing relationships. Our community, in turn, is enhanced as each of us grows.
The essential components of our philosophy are:
*That understanding and embracing is apparent in the interactions among children, families, and employees. *All children have the potential to construct and are capable of constructing their own understandings. *Trusting, long-term relationships are essential to growth. *Beautiful, inspirational environments are essential to learning and encourage activity, involvement, discovery and the use of the variety of media. *The process of learning for individuals and groups is documented by observation, recording, and reflecting on experiences. *The staff models the behavior we want to teach *We build security by teaching trust
