About our Program
We believe children should be in small intimate groupings with
a primary caregiver, where they can build trusting relationships
in order to feel secure enough to explore the world around them.
Caregivers should be supportive, sensitive and interested observers,
always evaluating as an ongoing process so that children can be
given the opportunities to succeed at their own level of development.
We believe children are explorers.
Play is the way children make sense of their world and is the natural
way to learn. Play is self initiated, spontaneous, a way of finding
out about people, a way of learning to interact with people, a means
of thinking, a means of developing and practicing skills, an opportunity
for children to use their curiosity to explore, experiment, and
test ideas, and aid to developing concentration, a way of nurturing
creativity and a means of self- expression.
We strive to provide an environment which contains materials that
are stimulating, challenging, changing, varied, familiar, and loved.
We provide an environment that encourages different kinds of play,
such as construction, role playing, movement, problem solving, discovering,
communicating, creating, imagining, reading, writing, using numbers,
space and measurement.
