We believe in learning through sensory and discovery experiences that are both challenging and enjoyable. We provide an environment that encourages each child to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. This is accomplished in a relaxed play and learning environment that balances structured and unstructured time planned and emergent curriculum. We provide developmentally appropriate activities based upon child growth and development theories, recent research in child development, and the time-tested culture of childhood. We recognize that as we all learn and grow our thinking must be flexible and open to review, modification, and change. We view parents as partners and we strive to support the family through involvement and educational opportunities at the Center.
