philosophy
We will provide:

  • an opportunity for children to explore themselves as individuals and as social beings
  • a place to express themselves creatively and to expand an awareness of themselves and the world around them in a supportive environment…
  • a place where choices are made in a structured environment according to the needs and interests of each individual child, strengthening each child’s self-control, independence, self-respect, responsibility and curiosity….
  • a place for children and their families no matter what their race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ableness…
