Our Mission, Vision and Philosophy

Our Philosophy
Our nationally accredited program provides a safe and nurturing environment which promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. We believe that learning occurs as a result of the interaction between the child's thoughts and rich experiences with materials, ideas and people. The experiences we provide match the child's interest and understanding. Our integrative approach focuses on the process of learning, giving children tools which help them become successful and responsible learners.

By meeting the children at their individual levels, by involving them actively in their learning, and by celebrating their growth, we help to build a positive self-esteem. Each child becomes an integral part in a community of learners. The community of learners is in turn nurtured by the cooperative efforts of teachers and parents.

Our parental support comes from a confidence in our program. This confidence is based on direct information obtained through parent meetings, conferences, open houses and monthly newsletters. Parents are always welcome to observe and participate in our program.

We encourage you and your child to become a part of our growing extended family.

To accomplish our Mission/Vision, we will:
  1. Employ individuals who are dedicated to children and provide opportunities for their professional growth.
  2. Develop a collaborative relationship with the community.
  3. Maintain and take pride in a clean, safe and attractive center.
  4. Create a positive environment that is warm and nurturing for children, staff and families.
  5. Practice effective leadership skills.
  6. Establish open lines of communication among administration staff and families.
  7. Provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on the interests and abilities each child.
  8. Establish a joint partnership with our families by providing services and resources that meet their individual needs.
  9. Continually assess and modify our efforts to accomplish our vision.
  10. Develop our own advocacy skills and empower parents to learn as much as they can about their children.
  11. Bond together a community of learners who focus on the strengths and contributions of each member.
  12. Create an extension of the family environment by focusing on the strengths and contributions of each community member.
  13. Observe and respond to each child's interests, abilities, and needs.
  14. We will provide children with many opportunities to engage in meaningful experiences inspired by their own interest and observations of their world.
