When KYCC opened its Children’s Center in 2004, our mission was clear: to provide affordable quality childcare for our Koreatown community. We envisioned a program that would allow children to make their own choices, that would nurture their creativity and that would give them opportunities to explore interests that are hands-on and meaningful. Our program focuses on the whole child, recognizing there are very many components which add up to making up a succesSFul and happy person. Social skills, emotional balance, healthy and active lifestyles as well as becoming an effective learner are all important areas of growth. In addition, our program shares a philosophy of respect for other cultures, a sense of community involvement, and an appreciation for nature. We believe in striving towards excellence as well as cultivating a lifelong love of learning.

Our philosophy on reading and writing is that children learn best when it is meaningful and important to them. Names are printed next to photos, and children are encouraged to write their name while signing up for various activities such as ringing the clean-up bell or setting up the lunch tables. Children are motivated to learn to write their name not because the teachers tell them to, but because they see the value in the printed word. Books in our libraries are rotated frequently, and story tapes are available all day. Reading and writing are also incorporated into everyday activities throughout the school. For example, cooking projects are accompanied by recipes, and teachers will make charts while doing science experiments. A child opening an ice cream stand may decide to make signs to put up. Another child may want to learn how to write a friend’s name to make him a card. There are reading and writing opportunities everyday and everywhere, and it is our job to help the children find and explore them.
