Our Philosophy
I believe that the first years of a child’s life are by far the most important, helping to lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development to follow. Through nurturing and individualized attention, I take great care to provide a warm, friendly, and fun environment for your child, while ensuring they receive the guidance and structure they need. I strive to nurture your child’s ideas and imagination, acknowledge each child’s individuality, and validate each personality. My goal is to provide a place where children know that they are accepted, loved, protected, and wanted; helping to instill in each child a strong sense of self-worth and purpose. My job is to make sure that each child has numerous positive experiences and interactions throughout each day. It is my hope that when the day is done, and children go home, they feel happy, proud of themselves and eager to express the happenings of their day to you.
Each child is different, unique, and special and will be treated as such. These carefree years are far too short. Therefore, I do not rush children through this fun filled time in their lives. Rather, each child is encouraged to develop and grow at their own pace. I understand that you are trusting me to care for your child, and I take this responsibility very seriously. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your child, while providing a positive influence in their life.
I believe that self-esteem is a critical component to optimal growth in young children. I focus on developing the socialization and self-help skills needed to have a positive self-image. I will also do my best to assist your child in developing important values such as: good manners, caring/sharing, patience, responsibility, compassion for self and others, as well as communication and teamwork. I believe that children learn well through play and we will implement these important values throughout our day.
I also offer daily preschool activities to help ready your child for Kindergarten. He/she will learn to recognize the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers, as well as emergent literacy reading and writing skills. We also work on name recognition and name writing. The children are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create in a safe and nurturing environment. For children of all ages, I incorporate lots of fun activities into their daily schedule that include arts and crafts, free-play, structured-play, music, song and dance, painting, coloring, various creative and educational projects, and much more. Additionally, for children aged two through five, we offer a loosely structured preschool curriculum. Because of these points, I feel I am able to provide the best of both worlds (learning and fun, all in one).
