Philosophy on Children's Learning
Our program is based on the philosophy that PLAY is the process in which young children learn about their world. No other form of understanding is as meaningful as those experiences explored through the five senses. The rich multicultural play based curriculum offers hands on developmentally appropriate activities that foster physical, social, creative, emotional and cognitive development. We thoroughly believe that when life is explored through playful hands-on experiences, an intrinsic thirst for knowledge and inquisitiveness develops and will last a lifetime. The coop setting strives to provide a safe and stimulating environment that encourages the natural love of learning.
Philosophy on Parenting
Our program is based on the philosophy that developing and honing parenting and child development skills early will best support parents as they balance the responsibilities of themselves, their family, and their communities.
