About the Provider

Description: OUR PHILOSOPHY In a caring and positive atmosphere, we create a warm and happy place for children to grow. We guide children toward a positive self-image and foster healthy social skills while always recognizing that parents are the first teachers. Sensory, motor, and perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher directed. Developmentally appropriate practice work is planned which emphasizes the process rather than the product. We foster a sense of accomplishment and pride. Based on the theory that children learn best through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaningful experimentation and reinforcement through repetition. Schedules are designated which balance structure, free choice, activity and quiet times. We treat each child as an individual recognizing their different developmental needs, starting at children's level and moving forward one step at a time. Community agencies are engaged to accommodate children with special needs. We teach a love of learning by allowing children to experience their own state of development and helping them to feel success without pressure.
