Philosophy

Our program is governed by the following beliefs:

• All children are born knowing how to learn.
• All children can learn.
• All children learn at different rates.
• The development of a child's social, physical, mental, and spiritual growth is of paramount importance.
• Children learn naturally when they are allowed to make many of their own choices, set their own pace, and be directors in their own learning process.
• Play is a child's work.
• Learning for young children should be structured within play and self-expression.
• Teachers are facilitators of the learning process. Their role is to provide materials that encourage learning through hands-on experiences.
• Parents, as the child's first teachers, are a key part of the learning process.
