Our Philosophy

Special Features

Our Philosophy

We established an environment where children can develop relationships with both teachers and other children. Children learn through play. Children are provided with opportunities to interact with their peers in a developmentally appropriate environment, a place that is carefully planned to meet the needs of the children. We welcome children of all abilities, including children with special health care needs or disabilities.

We offer a balance of child initiated and teacher directed activities. Child initiated activities allow children to select and explore a variety of activities provided by adults; teacher directed activities are led by adults most often to teach new skills or introduce new experiences. During these activities we are reflecting on the interests of the children, their primary language and cultural background. We believe it is important and have a respect for diversity in our program.

"Thank you so much for planning and organizing the amazing Handprints calendar. We LOVE all the amazing activities, adventures and opportunities to learn. You taught our children to share, how to ride a bike, to love nature, to be patient, kind, brave and so much more. Your dedication to the children's development is incredible. We will forever be grateful for you. Our children are better because of you. It takes a village and we are so glad you're part of ours."
