About Our Program

Our program believes that in an effective Early Learning and Education Program:

1. Children learn best in an atmosphere that fosters self-esteem and confidence.
2. Classrooms/centers are reflective of thoughtful observation and intentional planning.
3. Developmentally and age appropriate child centered activities designed around language/vocabulary, skills and interest levels that integrate social-emotional, cognitive, physical abilities, healthy well-being, and home and school. 
4. A partnership is established between our program, home and community.
5. Each child’s culture and language is respected to enhance the child’s self-esteem.
