Philosophy

"Teach the kids in the right way. When they are older, (what they learned as a child through developmental stages) will never go away."

Philosophy

"Teach the kids in the right way. When they are older, (what they learned as a child through developmental stages) will never go away."

The program objectives for Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool are as follows:
* To build up strong sense of confidence for their life time
* To promote each child's cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth and creative expression development
* To provide children with the foundation required for kindergarten
* To support families in maintaining their children's needs
* To validate the cultural and linguistic heritage of each child

We are positive that children will become confident in themselves because they will be exposed to play programs, learning programs, and performing arts programs. Recognizing that childhood is a critical period in child development, and that play is the natural work of childhood, Growing Tree Childcare and Preschool provides an environment in which children can grow and develop at their own rate, develop a positive self-image, learn to express emotion in an appropriate manner, act on their environment, develop sense or responsibility, and learn to trust those around them. Each child is seen as a unique individual with particular needs. By providing a nurturing environment where play leads to learning, problem solving, creativity and social skills, we hope to build a solid foundation for each child's future.

The goal of our program is to give children learning experiences that are meaningful to them at their individual level of development. The program provides a developmentally appropriate program for young children that will stimulate physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. The activity-centered program is based on the belief that children learn through exploration and discovery. Formal and informal learning experiences facilitate the children's learning.

We acknowledge a primary responsibility to develop a partnership between family and the preschool in a way that supports and enhances each child's development. We strive to work together as a team to guide the children's development as healthy, thoughtful, responsible individuals. Open communication with parents and families and the shared goal of meeting the unique needs of each child is critical and essential.
