We believe that children are best served and educated in environments that are supportive, nurturing and safe. Children thrive in environments that provide:

the recognition that the rate of development varies dramatically from one child to another
positive social interactions among all individuals within a community
opportunities to develop and celebrate everyones cultural heritage
child-centered and active learning opportunities
age and developmentally appropriate curriculum
a recognition of the importance of imaginative play
ample opportunities for early literacy development
frequent involvement in the creative arts
We especially acknowledge the many positive benefits that result from recognizing and celebrating human diversity. With a culturally competent staff and curriculum, we believe that all children can gain a respectful disposition toward human similarities and differences.
