Program Philosophy: We believe children construct knowledge (learn) through a wide variety of rich, meaningful experiences with adults, peers (other children) and materials. We believe parents are the first and primary teachers of their children. Therefore, parent engagement is vital in every aspect of our efforts to enrich each child’s life. We believe each child and family is unique. By serving the whole family, we are enriching the child’s life as well as developing a positive self-image for the family as a whole.
