Our programs are designed to work hand in hand with you in your child’s total development. Our teachers are committed to working with families to provide children with the strong base needed to begin their educational journey. While we work very hard to educate each child, we realize that we can not do this alone. We need the assistance of the family to help each child grow socially, emotionally and cognitively. Our program welcomes children and families regardless of race, color, marital status (including civil unions), physical or mental disability, religious creed or financial need. We make reasonable modifications and accommodations to maintain children and families with special needs in our program. We support staff in their professional development of children and families of special needs through trainings and resource and referral agencies. We utilize hands on learning through everyday processes such as learning how to measure through pouring of liquids and preparing of snacks in the kitchen, addition and subtraction through block building and writing through describing pictures we have drawn or painted. We will work on vocabulary development through interesting conversations and share time, and beginning reading through storytelling and thoughtful discussions. Age appropriate development activity areas are set up in our child sized classroom by our qualified staff. These areas allow your child/children to explore to their hearts content and express their own creativity and individuality. One of our primary goals is to foster in your child a positive attitude toward school and learning while developing at their own pace in a play-based environment. Emphasis is placed on the process not the final product as we realize that each child is a unique individual with a variety of interests, needs and abilities. Our program experiences will help your child/children to play cooperatively with other children as they develop social skills, self confidence in themselves and awaken their curiosity in the world around them.
