Proudly Serving Children 6 Weeks to 6 Years old
We endeavor to promote growth through safe, developmentally appropriate activities in a secure and caring environment. We provide a stimulating experience to promote each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. We also strive to foster a love of learning, an appreciation for beauty, and an abiding respect for the world around us. We place the highest value on each child’s need for respect, self-discipline, and individuality.
We recognize play as a child’s natural way of learning. Play is the child’s process of exploring, identifying, negotiating, taking risks, and creating meaning. Play must be a fundamental component of early childhood care and education. We use a child’s discovered interests observed through play to develop age-appropriate classroom curricula. A child’s eventual transition to kindergarten and later schooling is best served through child-centered, play-based learning combined with a degree of age-appropriate, organized, didactic, structured learning.
