Philosophy

At our childcare program, our mission is to cultivate a warm and inviting environment, ensuring it feels like a second home for every child. Our primary goal is to offer parents peace of mind by instilling core values of caring, love for our community, accountability, respect, and integrity. We are dedicated to nurturing creativity, social development, and overall growth in a secure and clean setting. My business focal points are to establish a relationship with the children to help develop social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skills. These skills will be encouraged through dramatic play-based learning activities indoors and outdoors. Looking ahead, our future goals include implementing a plan for preschool educational learning programs, further enriching the learning experiences and developmental milestones of the children in our care. Every child in our program receives personalized attention as we focus on fostering a sense of belonging, well-being, and a foundation for lifelong learning.

Incorporating a play-based curriculum for our childcare center involves designing activities that encourage learning through play. We will provide diverse materials and open-ended toys to stimulate creativity, promote social interaction, and allow children to explore their interests. Create themed play areas, set up opportunities for imaginative play, and facilitate activities that foster problem-solving and critical thinking while letting kids lead the way in their learning journey.

We are between adopting various play-based curriculums. Our options are open to the Montessori or the HighScope approach. Each emphasizes different aspects of child development. Montessori focuses on self-directed learning with hands-on materials, while HighScope incorporates structured activities within a child’s choice-based environment. We will choose one that aligns best with our childcare center’s philosophy and goals.
