School Philosophy and Mission

At Tikes and Tots our vision is to promote the healthy growth and development of children and provide high quality, developmentally appropriate care. We strive to provide the children with a safe learning environment that will encourage creativity, and inspire a love for learning. We believe in a â??hands onâ?? learning approach and encourage each child to develop their critical thinking and cognitive skills in figuring out solutions to everyday problems. We encourage a positive view of ones self and of others so the children may learn to appreciate and celebrate the differences in other people. Our desire is that the children develop good character, will be life long learners, to develop confidence and self-esteem so they may realize their true potential and never be afraid to try new things.
â??Education is helping the child realize his potentialities.â??
- Erich Fromm
