We believe in the value of early experiences for a child’s development. We believe in providing the kind of environment and experiences that encourage children to become creative, independent, responsible, self-directed and that start them on the road to becoming fully functioning adults. We provide a safe, positive and accepting atmosphere where children can safely explore their environments and their individual abilities.
WE BELIEVE
that all children have the right to feel good about themselves and that it is the responsibility of the teachers to provide an orderly, inviting environment, which will nurture the child and promote learning.
WE BELIEVE
that all our educational and guidance decisions for children must be based on our knowledge of child development.
WE BELIEVE
that each person is a unique individual and has his/her own needs. Each person has a right to meet these needs in his/her own way and own timeline. However, one of the responsibilities of having rights is recognizing and respecting the rights of others.
WE BELIEVE
that everyone is entitled to feelings, “good and bad”, as well as the trial-and-error process that goes with feelings. It is important for people to understand feelings rather than deny them.
WE BELIEVE
in appreciating and supporting the close ties between the child and family. A child is best understood in the context of his/her family, culture, community and society.
WE BELIEVE
that creativity, self-expression and curiosity are expressions of individuality and should be encouraged to develop in all people.
WE BELIEVE
in helping children and adults achieve their full potential in the context of relationships that are based on trust, respect and positive regard.
WE BELIEVE
that each child and family is due the respect for personal privacy demanded by professional ethics.
