Our Philosophy

Play is extremely important to children. It helps them to learn about themselves and others. Play provides time for children to explore their world and experiment with acting out the many roles they see there. It is through play that children feel joy and acceptance and it helps build self-confidence and feelings of fulfillment.


The child's feelings about self and others are nurtured, and a full range of emotional expression is encouraged. The individual personality of each child is respected, while responsibility and self-discipline are encouraged. While the children are taught about the world around them, greater emphasis is given to the development of increased attention span, problem solving strategies, and expressive and receptive skills.


We feel that in a child's early years it is especially important to help with the development of positive social skills and positive self-esteem. We work with each child to help him/her learn to play in a positive and appropriate way that is appealing to, and accepting of, others. We try to help children to recognize and learn to cope with their emotions and to resolve conflicts. A child who has positive social skills and positive self-esteem will grow to be a happy, fulfilled person.
