School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Because the younger child is more dependent on the adult caregiver our primary concern in working with young infants is to nurture feelings of trust and security. Their developmental changes and physical growth between birth and three years of age are more rapid during this time than any other periods of life. We base our philosophy of the center on respect. Respect for the child and all of their developmental stages. We promote a healthy, close relationship with respectful caring adults. "
Excerpted from the preschool's website
