PHILOSOPHY

We Believe:
…that children thrive when provided with a safe and nurturing environment that encourages exploration and creativity.

…that an effective curriculum incorporates a variety of educational theories while embracing the whole child and allowing for hands on experiential learning designed to foster creativity and expand self-expression.

…that each child is unique with an individual pattern and timing of social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development.

…that a partnership between parents and caregivers is essential to a positive childcare experience.

…that children learn best when surrounded by caregivers who encourage them to think for themselves, make decisions, work toward their own solutions, and express their own ideas and feelings.
