Our
Center offers a loving, rich and alive learning environment that combines a nurturing
family atmosphere with a progressive approach to education. The integration of
the Reggio philosophy, project approach and emergent curriculum
has become the matrix for our educational system. Our philosophy is that children
learn through natural discovery and their environment should provide a balance
of free exploration and classroom teaching. If children feel confident and are
allowed to express a natural curiosity, they will often discover many answers
to their own questions through play and using classroom materials. Children can
learn that there are many ways to find an answer to a question and experience
great joy in the learning process. Imagination and curiosity are essential ingredients
in encouraging children to become inquisitive learners with strong self-esteem
and self-confidence.
Classrooms
provide a safe and secure "home-like" atmosphere where the child can
feel comfortable exploring, questioning and experimenting. Understanding that
constructive play is the foundation for learning, an age-appropriate and balanced
curriculum offers a variety of activities to meet the social, emotional and cognitive
needs of each child. Each program incorporates music, drama, and art as a means
of fostering self-expression, creativity, and a curious mind. We believe in presenting
materials and activities in a relaxed manner, which allows children to gain knowledge
through creative thinking, problem solving, and discovery. The curriculum has
an emphasis of hands-on experience and is designed to challenge children as well
as instill a feeling of success. Encouragement and praise are important factors
that fuel the learning process and go hand-in-hand with teacher role modeling
and guidance. CONTINUED
