School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Program philosophy emphasizes value based, child initiated learning within a culturally diverse community. Kidzone will use a learning center approach. Children choose the activities that interest them, manipulate the materials available in the center, and become the architects of their own learning. Our learning center approach will allow the children to interact with one another, aiding in the creation of new ideas and new questions. By offering variety, we will ensure each child’s style of learning will be accommodated each day.
