Vision Statement
Our vision is to focus on God’s love by meeting children where they are and extend their learning. We do this by deeply engaging with children, families, and community to create rich hands-on experiences that cultivate children’s pro-social, physical, cognitive, and language foundations needed for school readiness and life long success. We continually measure our program’s success using research based standards and outcomes set forth by the National Association of the Education of Young Children (naeyc.org).
Mission Statement
Today’s children will become tomorrow’s parents, teachers, and community leaders. It’s critical that our families, teachers, and community work together creating the social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and language foundations needed for children’s life long success. Together we help children develop curious minds that will change the future.
Educational Philosophy
Early childhood is an amazing time of brain development and character formation. Children’s intrinsic curiosity makes them exquisite learners that blossom with rich, purposeful interactions and caring relationships (Eric Erickson). The physical location of where a child learns, (i.e. at home, a child care center, and in-home daycare or a half day preschool) is not as important as the rich trusting experiences that they are exposed to. Children’s formal education beings at birth and regardless of where children spend their early years, there are several needed components for them to be successful learners ready for school and eventual contributors in our society. Those components include meeting the child’s basic health and safety needs, supplying a rich environment from which they can explore and providing responsive experiences that include a road map from which to guide and assess children’s learning.
