Philosophy

We believe…

• Children are precious and must receive care from adults who are capable and caring, whose values enable them to be excellent role models.

• Children should experience numerous positive learning milestones, leading to an increased sense of competence and independence.

• Children’s play is extremely vital to healthy physical development, acceptable social skills, and cognitive growth.

• Teachers, drawing upon their training and experience, must create an appropriate educational environment that carefully guides children from one developmental level to another.

• Parents contribute to and enhance the quality of care offered at Big Dreams Academy.

Location

We are located behind the Marion county courthouse.
