About the Provider

Advertisement
Keeping in mind that each child is a unique individual, our program is designed to provide a good environment to stimulate learning and development. The following are goals that we feel will supplement home guidance, in providing valuable experiences for the intellectual, social and physical development of each child. 1.Provide an environment in which the young child can be happy and grow at his own rate of development. 2.Strengthen the child's self-image and sense of dignity. 3.Promote and help maintain physical health by providing a balanced diet, a resting period, and indoor as well as outdoor play. 4.By providing experiences with music, art, constructive materials, computer awareness, stories, pictures, plants and field trips to prepare each child with the basic skills that he will need when he enters school. 5.Instill in the child a joy and respect for learning that will be maintained throughout his life. 6.Help to develop the total child; with opportunities for sharing, for giving and receiving help, for standing up for his own rights, for recognizing the rights of others, for getting along with others.
