About the Provider

Description: At the Charlotte Children's Center each classroom has been designated as a welcoming environment to the children, families and teachers. The soft neutral tones are purposeful to allow children's artwork and materials to be the visual focus. We believe children are natural explorers and learn best through play. Teachers facilitate collaborative wonder through which curriculum is co-constructed with the children. Children can express ideas visually, verbally, in writing, through music and movement. In addition, the documentation of the process of expressing ideas, illustrates to parents, teachers and children that their work has value. Outdoor play and movement happen daily for all ages (weather permitting). The playgrounds are used to further encourage children's learning and experiences. Activities such as art, sand, water, play, gardening, reading, nature walks and free play will be part of the daily outdoor opportunities.
