School Philosophy and Mission
"M.A.W. Children's Center believes that young children are very special. Their natural curiosity creates a wonderful opportunity for learning. We recognize each child as an individual with unique needs, thoughts, interests, and timetables. At M.A.W. Children's Center, we have created an environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and fun. Our classrooms incorporate interaction in concrete meaningful activities that parallel our developmentally appropriate curriculum. M.A.W. Children's Center believes that next to the home, school is the most important environment for shaping attitudes, molding good habits, and building character."
