We believe every child is an important individual and must be treated as such. Our first priority is to help each child appreciate his/her own special qualities and to feel nurtured. Our developmental approach to our program allows for the growth of the whole child in the areas of emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and creative skills. Our program is structured to ensure a feeling of security, yet flexible enough to provide for individual needs.
Bears and Blankets encourages self help skills which we feel helps to improve self esteem through accomplishment. Our caring staff respects our students and helps children learn to show respect and practice good manners.
Bears and Blankets teaches tolerance and acceptance. No child is denied enrollment based on race, ethnicity, disability, or religious beliefs. Our school also strongly believes in giving back to the community, both local and global. We often have activities based on helping others.
Safety is of great importance to Bears and Blankets. Many of our policies are formulated to keep your child safe while in our capable care.
The staff work together as a team of professional child care providers. Cooperation and consideration keep the working atmosphere friendly, warm, and pleasant. We know that each member of our team has special talents and ideas that help the Center succeed.
