Program Philosophy
We believe that all children can learn when we provide developmentally appropriate curriculum and a learning environment with the team approach. As a team, we value collaboration between staff and parents so the family makes the most important influence on our successful inclusive practices. We also value the close relationship with infant and toddler programs, county programs, other community early preparation programs, and kindergarten programs.
