Our philosophy is based on the following:
Preschool years are an important time for growth and learning.

Play is the greatest avenue for learning during the preschool years.

Individual as well as group activities are important in the full development of each child.

Social, emotional, physical and intellectual development are important.

Each child is an individual going through each developmental stage at his/her own pace.

Children learn through the process of doing rather than the end product.

Healthy self concepts and positive feelings are formed during the preschool years.
