Our Goals
Creating a positive learning experience
It is our goal to facilitate a child’s transition from the family circle to the larger social circle, and to provide an enjoyable introduction into the educational learning process.
Instilling respect for oneself & others
We want to guide our young children to help them to become productive members of society. Our goal is to foster a sense of commitment and respect for the environment and for each other within each child.
Setting up for success in life
We will strive to encourage children to be resourceful and to develop a sense of pride and independence within themselves. We hope through our program to teach children skills which will enable them to meet the challenges of their adult lives.

Our Philosophy
We base our program on the premise that a child grows and develops at his/her own rate, but by providing the proper stimulating environment that growth and development will be enhanced.
We strive to provide a program to challenge a child’s physical and intellectual abilities, to stimulate curiosity, and to promote self-expression. In these ways, we feel that we are encouraging a child to become a productive person.
Each child is a unique individual with unique needs and contributions. It is our responsibility to recognize and meet these needs and to encourage and respect a child’s contributions. In turn, it is important that children learn to respect each other and work together in harmony within the environment.

Safety & Cleanliness
Our Learning Environment
Environmentally, it is our responsibility to provide a clean, safe facility in which a child feels secure to explore and comfortably express him/herself. We strongly believe that the environment sets the stage for the child guidance policy.
Well-equipped, varied, and stimulating atmosphere can circumvent unacceptable child-to-child interactions. In addition, by providing the proper environment, staff members are able to redirect children to other activities before potential problems occur. When disputes are inevitable, however, children will be encouraged to use proper problem-solving techniques.
