We believe that each child develops socially emotionally cognitively and physically at different developmental rates that are sequential and continuous during the natural growth process. We therefore value and respect individual differences among children and families.
We believe children need to be in a secure risk free and rich environment. They need to be provided with a variety of activities and opportunities to learn at their own pace through active involvement with materials peers and adults.
We further believe early childhood education should be a cooperative and joint venture between home and school with community collaboration in the process.
Our caregivers receive annual training on licensing rules and regulations ensuring that our children are in a safe secure environment.
