Philosophy
Our center provides developmentally appropriate early learning experiences for children through play activities. Our goal is to meet the developmental needs and interests of young children. We will provide age appropriate experiences that enhance and enrich each child’s total development. Each child will have numerous opportunities to learn concepts through concrete, hands-on experience. We will provide children with opportunities to create, explore, and develop problem-solving skills. We strive to provide care that is warm, nurturing, and sensitive to each child’s needs and interests in a warm and safe environment.
