• We are devoted to enhancing the lives of children through developmentally appropriate curriculum, which focuses on the child first.
• We believe that children learn the best when they experience their environment first hand through play, and being actively involved in planning and implementing
their day.
• We believe that children are competent, caring, curious and capable learners on their own.
• We believe as educators we need to provide opportunities, encouragement and guidance to promote self direction.

• Children are not all expected to do the same thing and their originality is valued.
• We respect parents as experts on their own children.
• As co-learners with the children, it is the responsibility of our professional educators to provide a safe environment for knowledge to grow.
