At Hope 4 Kids we believe that:
- children learn best through play;
- children’s work is their play;
- lifelong lessons, relationships, skills, characteristics, beliefs, and strategies about life are developed in the early years through a child’s experiences with his or her environment, family, peers, leaders, community, school, nature, and play;
- a child should be allowed to fully develop his or her own agenda for the day, facilitated by experienced, quality, and highly-educated staff committed to the child’s future;
- a child’s chance at a healthy, positive, productive, creative future is directly related to how often he or she as a child was permitted to explore ideas outside the box, take risks, create without the fear of judgment, think for him/herself, freely move his/her body, encounter sensory experiences (i.e., going barefoot in the mud, singing in the rain, painting anything and everything, etc.,), use language in creative and unconventional ways, and develop meaningful relationships with all children and adults; and
- it is critical for a child to know he or she is important, unconditionally loved, cared for, valued, and has a crucial place in this world that nobody else can fulfill.
Our philosophy of caring for children is child-driven, caring for the whole child and based solely on each child’s unique and individual needs. Each child feels loved and nurtured by a consistent, loving caregiver so that a trusting, long-term relationship is establishEducation We base our daily activities on where children are in their social, physical, emotional, cognitive, creative, and language development in conjunction with their extent of prior group care experiences.
