About the Provider

Description: Philosophy and Mission Statement
We recognize and accept each child as a unique individual, with his/her own potential for growth and development.
We embrace and celebrate every child’s cultural differences, striving to instill acceptance and a positive attitude towards self and others.
We believe that children learn best through active learning. This is accomplished through the use of hands-on learning centers; small and large group activities, exploring the natural world around them.
We believe the family is the primary component in the child’s life with the center being a supportive component and partner with the family.
