About the Provider

Description: NB Children's Center Inc believes that each and every child has the right to equitable learning opportunities that fully support their optimal development and learning across all domains and content areas. Children are born eager to learn; they take delight in exploring their world and making connections. We support engagement in developmentally appropriate practices to foster young children's joyful learning and maximize the opportunities for each and every child to achieve their full potential. NB Children's Center Inc's philosophy stems from the knowledge that children learn and grow in predictable stages throughout childhood. At each developmental stage, new skills and understandings are emerging. At the same time, we also know that despite this sequence, all children are individuals and have individual characteristics from birth which make each child special and unique. Development always occurs within the context of each child's unique potential. The Center functions on the belief that all children shall be provided enhanced connections and therefore we believe that every family is our partner. We partner with families to ensure each child develops to their optimal ability within a responsive and nurturing learning community.We provide highly qualified and well-trained early care and afterschool education professionals to provide a variety of exceptional learning experiences in a responsive and trauma informed environment.
