"Quality is Universal Language"

Our Philosophy

We Believe:

• Children enjoy growing and learning.
• Children grow and learn best in a warm and noncompetitive environment.
• Children grow and learn best when they are both physically and mentally involved.
• Children grow and learn best when they are given opportunities to discover concepts themselves through experimentation, inquiry and exploratory play.
• Children grow and learn best when their fears and emotions are respected and when they are encouraged to identify and verbalize their feelings.
• Children's growth and education is shared responsibility of the parent and educator.
• Cooperation and communication between home and school is essential to the creation of an environment that fosters physical development, cognitive development, emotional development, and social development.

Therefore:

• We respect the development level of each child and offer a wide variety of activities to challenge individuals as opposed to fixed curriculum directed at groups of children.
• We carefully structure environment to encourage exploration, choice-making, large and small group activity, and the development of self-help skills.
• We provide an outdoor environment, which invites active, vigorous exercise in a natural setting. Trees, grass, flowers, sand, water, and open space are emphasized rather than traditional steel playground equipment.
• We create a climate of adult-child interaction, which encourages conversation, shared involvement in activities, joint problem-solving and genuine expression of feelings in constructive ways.
• We encourage the development of social skills through modeling, facilitating new friendships and assisting with conflict resolution.
• We provide daily opportunities for singing and movement to music.
• We provide nutritious meals from a variety of cultures and involve children in their preparation.
