Our commitment is to form lifelong learning experiences allowing every child to become independent, self-confident, and inquisitive learners.The program follows inspiration from Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches with a focus on the whole child, as they are, meeting them where they are. Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of each individual child rather than molding them to curriculum and learning patterns. This provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child's creative development. Within the center's daily schedule, each child has opportunities to create and explore the environment, learn problem-solving skills, and learn concepts through first-hand experiences. Children develop a positive self-concept through a balance of self-and teacher-facilitated activities. Opportunities for solitary play as well as group activities are provided. Staff serve as positive role models and provide care that is supportive, nurturing, warm, and responsive to each child's individual needs. The adult's responsibility in a developmental program is to assist the child in growing to his or her fullest potential by recognizing each stage of development.We respect parents as the primary and most important providers of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children's care and education.
