Philosophy

Bare Essentials Childcare Center uses a play-based model curriculum called Project Construct. We believe in hands on learning through open ended questions, without guided answers from the teachers, so children develop the skills of knowing how to problem solve on their own, learn by doing, inventing, and creating from their own experiences.
