As a nationally accredited early childhood program, it is our mission to provide quality programs to the families we serve.  We do this by focusing on the child's physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development through hands on, developmentally appropriate activities.  We strive to use best practice techniques to ensure our commitment to professionalism, compassion, and accountability.

 

What is a high-quality

early childhood program?

 

A high-quality early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children.

 

In accredited programs, you should see:

  • frequent positive, warm interactions among teachers and children
  • planned learning activities appropriate to the children's age and develpment, such as reading stories, block building, painting, dress-up, and active outdoor play
  • specially trained teachers and administrators
  • ongoing professional development
  • many varied age-appropriate materials
  • respect for cultural diversity
  • a healthy and safe environment for adults and children
  • inclusive environments
  • nutritious meals and snacks
