- We recognize the primacy of the family in each child’s life, and strive to respect and support each family in raising and educating their children.
- We strive for open communication with families to help us understand the significant events in each child’s home life, and to share with families the significant events that occur while children are in our care.
- We strive for a diverse staff who care about young children, and have the necessary tools to provide a developmentally appropriate environment in which children can learn and grow.
- We strive to help the staff in their quest for excellence, with ongoing training and professional support.
- The Center is not affiliated with any religious or other organization.
- We recognize the individuality of each child and family. We also recognize the unique role that spirituality and religion can play in each person’s life. We therefore believe it would be presumptuous for us to attempt to define that spirituality or religion for the children of the families we serve.
The Center has a yearly Piaget-based curriculum, stressing the need to utilize all senses for the most effective learning. Activities are based on the specific age and development level of the children in each group and include art, science, pre-reading and math skills, dramatic play, music, and language development. The Center’s curriculum and policies are all religious neutral. Lesson plans are posted weekly.
