Our Vision
The need for early intervention has become greater throughout the last decade for all children. In addition, with the growing public awareness of the need to provide a quality educational experience for children in the least restrictive environment, there has been a trend to include children with special needs in the community-based preschools. Sessions focus on the use of developmentally appropriate practices, allowing each child to develop at his/her own pace, open-ended activities and a melding of teaching styles using innovative strategies to accommodate the varied learning styles of all enrolled children.
The Center believes that the family unit is the strongest influence in the life of a young child. Our program provides a positive setting for children to learn to play, create, and explore with other children their own age. The Infant and Toddler Program has a separate curriculum which includes physical, emotional/social, cognitive and creative development. In this program, we use a Primary Caregiver System to help foster the growth of a special bond between the child and his/her caregiver. As the Center's name states, this is a place that not only provides parents with needed child care, but also works with the parents in helping to promote each child's growth and development. Since many of the children spend up to ten hours here each day, it is important that it is place where they feel (and are) safe and secure -- where the staff takes a genuine interest in each child's well-being. The aim is to develop each child as an individual, while at the same time instilling in them the basic rules and values.
