Philosophy
We believe that every child can accomplish any task that any other human has ever accomplished. Every child is a blank slate, and we aspire to fill that slate with the knowledge and social skills that will help them to achieve their goals in life. As we know, all children develop at their own pace, and we help them achieve their goal at their own pace. As educators we know each child’s home language is different and important, which is why we try speaking to children and families in the language which best suits them and use labeling in home language. Our children will learn social, emotional, and cognitive skills through play and group activities. They will have choices during the day to do activities that best fit their needs and interests on an individual basis. Our teachers use the shadowing approach and modeling by trying to guide the child’s choices rather than force choices upon the child. Our classrooms are divided into centers such as reading center, dramatic play/ home living center, art center, block center, math and science center and circle time. The different areas within the classrooms promote a variety of interests for children to choose from throughout the day. The centers promote social and emotional development, cognitive learning skills, gross, fine and large motor skills. Boots & Bows Early Learning Center educates the whole child, which means that we consider every child a unique individual; socially, emotionally, culturally, physically, and intellectually. We as educators know how important play is to a child’s development. Play is where children learn the most about themselves and problem solving. We know how eager each child is to learn so we do not hold them back; we let them express their individuality. Each teacher is responsible for individualizing their planning to promote the unique growth of each child. Learning begins with family, so we want our families to become a part of their children’s development and work together as a team!
