The manner in which a
child learns is given prime consideration and the philosophy of the
Center considers the following areas to be of great value.
- Respect for the individual, no
matter how young; the individual's right to develop creatively in an
environment provided
- The Arts and Science are integral
to the life and growth of the young child; they cannot be separated
from the development of the preschool and elementary school child
- A thorough understanding of child
development and growth for it is only in fully appreciating the
stages of human growth that a program can be adapted to young
children
- A creative and colorful
environment for the child, utilizing a multi-sensory approach which
stimulates perception through active involvement
- A structured learning environment
so that sensory activity can be of utmost importance because only
through the use of the senses can effective learning take place
- Early learning through play,
basing the curriculum on natural experiences that are familiar to
the child; the known experiences of the child leading to that which
is unknown, thus introducing new concepts
- The value of positive
reinforcement in establishing self-assurance, thus encouraging the
children to try new things
