Our philosophy is that a warm and nurturing environment is made rich by “hands-on”, play-learning opportunities. Children learn about themselves and their environment through their surroundings as well as interactions with others.

From birth, children are marvelous learners, immediately investigating the sights, sounds and feel of their surroundings. Long before walking and talking, they are already exploring their own abilities and what the world has to offer them. Though much of a child’s play and learning is self-motivated and self-directed, it is still important for caregivers to offer opportunities for caregiver-initiated play and learning experiences throughout the day, as well.

Children of all ages in my childcare are given opportunities to learn through experiences with stories, songs/music, art, science, dramatic play, sensory materials, number and letter activities and the outdoors. Even children younger than 2 years, tend to choose to participate in the above activities so our activities are tailored to the interest, abilities, as well as, the ages of the children in my care.
