Our Mission
To provide superior child care and the finest educational programs tailored to meet the needs of diverse children and their families in a secure and nurturing environment convenient to the workplace.
 
Our Values
We believe the following:
  • We value the significant role of the family in each child’s development and work to maintain close ties between home and school.
  • A warm, nurturing environment is necessary for the development of positive self-concept, creativity and motivation to learn.
  • Each child, parent and staff member is a unique individual with skills, feelings and perceptions, which may or may not be similar to our own.
  • Each person can learn to value him/herself and to value other person’s feelings, needs and individuality.
  • We value children’s play as their means for translating experiences into understanding.
  • The development of motor, sensory and perceptual skills must be encouraged in order to provide the framework for later educational and life experiences.
