OUR PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING

All of our programs and activities are planned with developmentally appropriate goals in mind; and because we understand that children learn best when engaged and interested, we promote fun and educational play – helping your child “play with a purpose.”

Much of our educational philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. We put great effort into creating a warm, inviting, and enriching environment where teachers are facilitators and co-learners with the children. You will find that we seek to strike a balance between teacher-directed and child-directed activities based upon each child’s interests; using stories, dramatic play, art, music, and learning centers.

We welcome parental participation and input. We see parents, teachers, and children as partners in the learning process. Our teachers observe, interpret, and document each child’s development and growth; and we consider it a privilege to partner with you in caring for and facilitating your child’s learning process.
