Philosophy
We believe in the value of human diversity and the fair treatment of all people. It must be our number one goal to provide the kind of environment and the kind of influences that encourage all children to become creative, independent, responsible, self-directed adults who can make decisions for themselves. Secondly, as adults we must strive to continue learning and growing in our relationships with others so that we may nurture a peaceful environment and surround the children with understanding, warmth, and giving.
Our values and beliefs about children are deeply rooted in the history of Education. We believe that…
- Children learn through their play experiences and should have many opportunities to make their own choices.
- The dignity and worth of each child and family is important.
- Loving, trusting and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others.
- Each child should be helped to have a positive self-image.
- It is important to meet each child’s unique needs for physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth.
- The needs of children change as they grow; that programs must respond in content and structure by using the best techniques in child development.
- Children deserve a nurturing, safe and happy environment, which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
- Children deserve to have teachers who are capable and caring and whose values enable them to be excellent role models.
- Parents are their child’s first teacher. We see our parents as partners and only together can we truly make a difference in the lives of our children.
