Something Special About Our Centers
"The greatest evil that can befell man
is that he should come to think ill of himself" -Goethe
During their early years, children form basic
attitudes about learning, about school, and most important, about
themselves. The child care you choose makes a difference!
Next to providing a bright, safe place in which
your child's physical well-being is cared for, the most important
part of our job is to create an environment of unconditional love
and support so that children may fully participate in the many learning
possibilities we provide and may develop independence and confidence
in themselves.
Here is an important distinction about our centers:
We train our staff to create learning possibilities in an
environment of unconditional love, support and respect for the
children.
This special context is established through consistently
positive, respectful interactions with the children by all of our
staff. Young children form their opinions of themselves by noticing
what significant others, such as parents and teachers, seem to to
think of them. Adults communicate their respect and unconditional
love most powerfully to children in the quality of the interactions
they have with children. Children treated with great respect and
love naturally get the idea that they are worthwhile. We think the
context we create for our children, or "how" we do what
we do, is very important.
We especially invite parents to participate in
our educational program for parents, Parent
University. The distinctions used in Parent University classes
were originally created by us to train our staff to take the greatest
care of our children's whole developing "self", not only
their physical safety and well-being, but academic, personal, social
and emotional development as well.
