OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe children are life’s most valuable resource – they are the future! We believe strengthening a child’s foundation will yield a strong and secure adult. It is the responsibility of a good childcare center to assist each child in reaching their full potential. We strive to meet this goal by recognizing each child's development stage and planning activities to meet their individual needs. Emphasis is placed on nurturing and facilitating growth in all developmental domains: social, physical, emotional, and cognitive. We want each child to have a positive self-concept and be confident when trying new things.
