About
Program Philosophy: It is our belief that children learn through play that is meaningful to them. Experts in child development say that plenty of time for childhood play is one of the key factors to happiness in adulthood. Learning is what children do; it is not something that is done to them. Our program is centered o meeting the complete developmental need of children ages six (6) weeks to five (5) years. We believe that all children pass through stages of development which occur in a predictable sequence in their physical, emotion/social, and cognitive growth. The teacher/caregivers responsibility is to assist each child in growing to their fullest potential by recognizing each stage of development and preparing a curriculum that will nurture and facilitate growth during each stage of development.
