School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

The Children's Courtyard is dedicated to providing the highest quality early childhood development and care. Our innovative approach is exemplified in our beautiful home-like settings that are warm and inviting. Our classrooms are furnished with state-of-the-art, age appropriate equipment designed to meet children's developmental needs.

Our curriculum has been developed based on the latest research of how young children learn. We have partnered with Addison-Wesley Scholastic and McGraw Hill to enrich your child's educational experiences. All children have different learning styles and cultures, so our teaching approach takes into account each child's individuality. Our teaching materials include systems for assessment of educational skills so teachers can build concrete, purposeful, and relevant learning activities for each child. This flexible approach accommodates different rates at which children develop and helps each child develop his or her own unique qualities and character. Regardless of age, a child’s day is filled with fun and learning.
