Our philosophy is one that acknowledges and respects the God-given uniqueness of each child. It also supports the belief that a child's strong sense of self-esteem comes from experiencing success within an age-appropriate environment, enhanced by a rich, stimulating curriculum.
Our curriculum engages children's learning in all developmental areas, at the same time allowing for individual differences in learning styles. We encourage creativity through a variety of play-based experiences.
Our overall goals for the children in our program are: to build a strong sense of self-confidence and self-esteem, development of the whole child with an emphasis on social/emotional development and independence.
