Our Philosophy
We believe that the child’s parents and teachers, curriculum and materials all play a part in the child’s growth and development. We believe that children need to be in an environment that allows them to feel safe and secure, along with promoting their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Our Goals
- To provide a place where the children feel safe and secure.
- To provide an environment that enhances the development of the children emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively.
- To recognize each child as an individual and respect differences.
