Educational Philosophy

    Our Purpose, Philosophy, Goals and Objectives

    Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of children 15 months to 5
    needs of children years of age.  Children learn exploration.  These experiences
    enhance and enrich the experiences enhance and enrich the child's cognitive, cognitive,
    language, language, social, emotional, creative and physical development.  We view
    children as development.  We view children as individuals and children as individuals
    and acknowledge that each child develops at their own pace.

    Through play, children simultaneously have the opportunity to create, explore, learn
    to problem solve, gain independence and develop personal interaction skills.  We offer
    a balance of solitary play and group activities.

    The classroom is set up to stimulate cognitive and language development.  Providing a
    print rich environment will encourage children to become aware of symbols such as
    letters, numbers, etc. which leads to the beginning of preprinting and reading skills.

    Staff serve as positive role models and provide care that is supportive, nurturing and
    responsive to the child's individual needs.  We believe that parents and teachers are
    partners in each child's care and development.

    The staff is also supportive in the development of positive feelings and self-esteem.  
    Emphasis is put on practicing skills and establishing a positive attitude towards
    learning.  We do not believe in "I CAN'T DO IT."  Our belief is "We need to try and
    with practice, we'll get it right."

    We do not discriminate against race, religion, cultural heritage, national origin,
    sexual orientation, political beliefs, marital status or disabilities.  We will maintain
    a non-competitive, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which children may develop a positive
    image.

    Ideas For Learning Experiences

    * use pattern cards to reproduce patterns with
    concrete objects such as beads, colored cubes,
    mosaic tiles with pattern cards.

    * find patterns in their everyday environment (plaid,
    stripes, checks on clothing, floors or walls).

    * repeat a pattern/sequence in a variety of ways (e.
    g., an ABAB pattern with stickers, blocks, or
    stamps).

    * manipulate objects in and out of patterns.

    * recognize and predict word patterns in familiar
    rhythms, music or stories.
