The center's primary goal is to provide
a rich educational experience with the objective of stimulating the
intellectual, social, and emotional growth of each child. We also provide
a safe, nurturing environment for the preschooler while his/her parent(s)
attends classes.
The center's approach is a developmental
one. This means that the structure of the program and the interaction
between the teachers and children, and anong the children themselves
are based on an understanding of the particular developmental stages
of the children, and are geared toward fostering the maximum intellectual,
social and emotional growth for that stage. The developmental approach
recognizes the need to understand and work with the "whole"
child, encouraging and acknowledging the individuality and autonomy
of each child in order to promote a positive self-image.
We believe that children learn through
play and socialization. We encourage children's enthusiastic explorations
of the classroom and help them to learn to interact effectively with
their pees. Through these daily investigations,children gain knowledge
and confidence.They develop a love of learning that leads to a more
confident and creative child and student.
We foster independent growth by allowing
children to choose from a variety of materials and activities through
each day. Consistent adherence to this approach contributes to children's
abilities and competence.
