TSC Raul Guerra Early Childhood

The educational program in the Center is based on sound principles of child development. Our goals are to give children a sense of worth by helping them develop at their own individual pace while learning basic skills. We want the children to feel confident and secure enough to explore and grow in a stimulating educational and social environment. We acknowledge and utilize the role of play in the development of children. Play allows children to be curious creative inventive and imaginative in an environment that encourages emotional well-being socialization communication cognitive processes and motor skills.

We are committed to promoting and supporting all aspects of a child’s growth in an atmosphere of respect. Children participate in a variety of individual and group activities designed to:

• Develop language and reading readiness skills
• Enhance physical social emotional and intellectual growth and
• Develop skills and attitudes which will increase their ability to succeed in life. We strive to build a sense of community for children and family and to enhance each child’s self-concept.
• We do not believe in pushing children and do not pressure children to achieve. By providing the right kind of stimulating safe and fun environment children can progress and grow at their own pace and in a manager that will support a life-long quest for learning and growth.

The development and training of Center staff is a continuous process which includes attending workshops listening to guest speakers and frequent discussion. The staff is encouraged to visit other programs and to take additional courses related to child development.
