	Philosophy Curriculum School-age before & after School-age summer Our Philosophy We believe every child is a unique individual. Our staff’s responsibility is to help the child develop his/her social, emotional, physical, and educational skills to their fullest. These skills will be developed through interaction with loving, knowledgeable staff who are sensitive to each child’s personal needs. The curriculum is designed to help each child develop the confidence and independence needed to function in today’s world. Our Curriculum The daily planning within each classroom is designed to present a variety of opportunities that will spark interest in each individual child, while keeping a balance between active and quiet activities, as well as providing both indoor and outdoor investigation. Knowing that play is the foundation of a child’s early education, significant time is devoted to free exploration. Learning is enhanced by teacher-lead one-on-one, small group, and whole group instruction.
