","education_philosophy":"

We believe…

That children are precious and must receive care from adults who are capable and caring--whose values enable them to be excellent role models.
That children should experience numerous positive learning milestones, leading to an increased sense of competence and independence.
That children's play is extremely vital to healthy physical development, acceptable social skills, and cognitive growth.
That teachers, drawing upon their training and experience, must create an appropriate educational environment which carefully guides children from one developmental level to another.
That parents contribute to, and enhance the quality of care offered at our Child Care
