Triết lý

Turquoise Child Development Center is a child-oriented school. We believe that children learn through play, firsthand experiences, and though the use of a variety of material. Our firsthand experiences will be in the areas of art, music, science, human relationships, etc. Each child is “freedom with responsibility” and with this freedom he can learn and be happy. They will learn by example and doing.

We strive to satisfy and develop the emotional, physical, intellectual, social and creative needs of each child through our love, supportive behavior, and redirection. We encourage children to thing and act independently and make his our her decisions. We believe our environment allows each child and freedom to grow and expand fully.
