Mission Statement:

To provide high quality early education and care within a secure, healthy environment designed to stimulate a natural love of learning through exploration and discovery.

Philosophy and Goals:

The intent of our program is to encourage and support the development of individual child and to provide opportunities for exploration and discovery. Assumption of the program is that children are active and curious. It is our goal to provide an enriching environment that encourages creativity, stimulates that natural instinct of learning, and promotes sharing and getting along with others.

The overall development (cognitive, social, emotional, physical, language) of the child is considered and planned for through a variety of activities. Positive development of the child's self-image is of the prime importance in the program and is a priority in all aspects of program planning. It is our aim to work with family in creating the best possible environment for the child while he/she is at the center.
