Life-oriented
We believe that the purpose of early childhood education is to help children learn to be at ease with themselves and others. We do this by teaching them how to recognize, acknowledge and lovingly accept what they feel and how to regulate and express those feelings in a socially acceptable manner. Individualized
We celebrate and respect all our children for who they are now. Our curriculum is adapted to best meet the individual and unique needs of your child. This is done through an exciting variety of teaching techniques and activities. We enable each child to progress in harmony with their own natural development and learning style. Purposeful
We help children become successful learners who are not afraid to make mistakes and who are confident and competent as they experience the joy of learning. We enable children to see positive and negative experiences as learning opportunities. Standards
Our curriculum fosters wholeness for integrated learning. We follow the developmental guidelines set by the U.S. National Association for the Education of Young Children. We also seek to be culturally appropriate in a global world. Learning Environment
IELC offers a nurturing, loving environment. Your child will thrive under the consistency, safety, and support offered by our staff. Foundation
Children are given the tools they need when they need them. We monitor and seize crucial learning windows of opportunity through the application of developmentally appropriate and advanced curriculum. Discipline
