Our Beliefs
Philosophy
We believe in the development of the whole child; that all children can learn; that children do best in engaging environments; that families and community are vital for children's development; and that all children can become contributing members of society.
At our program, we strive to create a joyful, inclusive, and supportive environment for parents, children, and employees. Understanding the values and uniqueness of individuals is a powerful foundation for the learning we promote.
From this perspective comes a deep respect for the enormous potential of each person — child, parent, and educator. Families and children are valued as the foundations for a strong and thriving community, and we see parents as partners in the shared goal of providing their children with the best possible education.
Our Approach
Model Program
Our program provides challenging early education, maximizing a child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. We follow the guidelines of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and utilize The Creative Curriculum, which is based on 5 principles and supports teachers in creating quality learning environments underscored by strong personal relationships.
