OUR PROGRAMS PHILOSOPHY

All children will become independent, self-confident, and curious learners that will be able to interact and work well with others. I believe and support the idea that this can all be done through providing the “tools” needed for purposeful and productive play as well as maintaining a familiar and comfortable routine to the individual needs of the children. I’m a firm believer that it’s very important that we develop a sense of continuity between your home and the facility. I believe that the “family” structure is the most important to children and I want to partner up with families to assure the child can grow and benefit from the partnership.

VISION

Enjoy, encourage, love, nurture and support your children in a safe and secure environment while providing them with creative and individualized learning opportunities that are developmentally appropriate. As your children grow, they will become independent thinkers, learners, and doers.
