Philosophy
Our childcare center is dedicated to following a play-based philosophy, where children’s natural inclination towards play is valued as an essential tool for learning. Play-based learning is an approach that recognizes the importance of active engagement and exploration in a child’s development. Through singing and dancing, children will not only have a blast but also learn important procedures and routines at the center. We believe in fostering children’s curiosity by encouraging them through questioning and providing them with the necessary support and guidance. Our goal is to make learning exciting, fun, and educational, ensuring that children develop a love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.
About our program
At our childcare center, we believe in providing a true home away from home for all our little ones. Each room is thoughtfully designed to mimic a room in a house, with the intention of creating a learning experience for the children. Our bathroom is not just a place for necessities, but a place where children can learn about personal hygiene with pictures on the walls, toothbrushes, and hand soap readily available. In our dining area, we embrace a family-style approach, where places are set, table manners are taught, and table etiquette is practiced. Our goal is to create a unique environment that not only makes children feel comfortable, but also helps them develop essential life skills. The overall atmosphere of our center is warm, loving, and nurturing, ensuring that every child feels safe and cared for throughout their time here.
