Our approach to early childhood education allows children to observe and investigate topics that naturally intrigue them. Informal research about these topics leads to imaginative group projects that engage children through discussion fieldwork activities and creative displays of their knowledge. Teachers and children cooperatively explore topics as diverse as trains shopping snails or the weather. By doing many types of project work children enthusiastically build on what they already know and apply their own individual strengths and learning styles to deepen their understanding of larger concepts. By engaging childrens natural way of learning this approach makes education its own happy reward.
The priority will be to enrich each child as an individual and as part of a group. We will encourage the emotional intellectual social and physical growth of the children. We will provide a safe environment. Our goals are to share time have fun and enjoy our day together as the child explores a variety of experiences. A childs world should be full of exploration. We will help them make meaning of the wonder of their discoveries.
An illustration of the above philosophy is a very special tree the symbol of growth and strength. It is a creative expression of our understanding of an enriching program. The trunk of the tree is the foundation of our Program; our strong healthy and secure environment. The branches are the early childhood teachers and parents reaching out to the children embracing their needs and wants. The leaves represent the similarities and differences of the children.
