Philosophy:
Play is essential to the way a child learns and develops. During play, the child has mastery of his or her own environment, fostering socialization, independence, and self-confidence. It is crucial that children have the time to work through the play experience in order to explore and orient themselves within the real world of space, time, objects, animals and other people.
Due to the importance of play to a young child's development, our program has a lengthy, unstructured playtime. During this time, the children have an opportunity to choose their own areas of interest from options including painting and crafts, building toys, books, costumes, make-believe toys and a large sand table. We strive to provide a positive atmosphere for play by providing the materials and enthusiasm.
