Purposeful engaging play is an important vehicle for children’s learning.  When they play in meaningful ways, children learn about themselves, other people, and the world around them.  As they play, children acquire language, learn to solve problems, learn to control their behavior and feelings, and explore social roles.  The interactions between teachers and children during play are critical to their learning.  Teachers facilitate this learning as they carefully observe children’s play to determine the most appropriate levels and types of support to offer.

Our facility accepts children between the ages of 6 weeks-12 years.

Our long term program goals include helping children:

• To become creative, independent thinkers;
• To feel competent, productive and self-reliant, as well as fostering good self-esteem and a sense of self-worth;
• To develop a sense of responsibility for their own mental and physical health;
• To understand that they are a part of a diverse, multicultural, global community and that their actions influence the quality of the community;
• To foster the value that many kinds of intelligences-linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, physical, spatial and personal-are valuable and important to our community; and,
• To encourage the development of higher moral reasoning, helping children to develop into adults with an internalized code of ethics and principles.
