Program Information
We believe children learn and develop skills and confidence through active engagement with their environment and each other. Children are encouraged to explore activities and materials at their own pace which have been planned to stimulate each of the five developmental areas (social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive).
It is our goal to create a nurturing environment where a child’s natural love of learning will thrive. Each teaching team plans weekly curriculum to create developmentally appropriate plans that focus on the developmental needs of the individual children, as well as the group, and that are embedded in the children’s interests.
We desire to partner with you regarding your child’s care and education. Please take the time to review the weekly curriculum plan which is sent home.
