About the Provider

Description: Huffer is committed to providing a quality early childhood education program combined with quality child care services. Understanding developmentally appropriate practices, we have the philosophy that children “learn by doing.” We believe children learn best when they are relaxed, feel secure, and have a variety of choices available to them. All lesson plans are not only age appropriate but also individually tailored to meet the unique needs of all children in the program. Our role as a quality early childhood education center is to promote the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of each child by building on the children’s past experiences and introducing intriguing new hands on experiences daily in our curriculum. HMCC is NAEYC accredited as well as a Ball State University Professional Development School.
