We place the highest value on each childs need for respect self-discipline and individuality.

We recognize play as a childs natural way of learning. Play is the childs process of exploring identifying negotiating taking risks and creating meaning. Play must be a fundamental component of early childhood care and education. We use a childs discovered interests observed through play to develop age-appropriate classroom curricula. A childs eventual transition to kindergarten and later schooling is best served through child-centered play-based learning combined with a degree of age-appropriate organized didactic structured learning.
