Pollywogs Child Development Center

Our philosophy is based on a set of strongly held beliefs: We believe that each child is a unique individual. We are sensitive to a child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning and help children enjoy successful experiences. We encourage not just learning, but also the love of learning. Individual attention is provided and children are encouraged to learn at their own pace while promoting self-esteem and strong sense of themselves as individuals and as members of a group. We believe in providing a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthy, and oriented to children. Rooms are arranged to offer challenging play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Activity areas allow children the opportunity to explore and to experience. We believe that the strength of our program is in the dedication of our teaching staff. We support our teachers with training, resources, and freedom to create a unique learning experience for children. We provide many opportunities for teachers to share ideas and grow professionally. Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere and foster each child’s creativity and positive self-image. We believe in positive methods of discipline. We establish consistent, age-appropriate limits to help children function in their world. Our programs are designed to develop in children a sense of independence and responsibility. We believe parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life. We strive to create mutual respect between parents and teachers: a partnership for the benefit of the child. We encourage daily communication between parents and center staff. Our doors are open to parents at all times. Pollywogs Child
