Philosophy
Carita Felices Child Development Center believes that the early years hold an enormous promise and that every child has unique gifts and abilities that are to be celebrated and nurture. The Center strives to help all children develop a positive self-image. The Center recognizes that children need clearly defined limits set in a non-threatening yet firm environment. Carita Felices Child Development Center involves families and community as partners in decision making by providing choice, flexibility and continuity of services. Making available a variety of services that are available to children and their families to participate that are respectful of their family experiences, culture, beliefs, abilities and circumstances. In order to achieve these goals, the Center applies principles that build individual esteem and avoids any shaming practices. As such, the Center accomplishes order and discipline through close supervision, gentle guidance and redirection. In the event a child may become unmanageable a brief timeout may be utilized. The practice is rarely employed and never overused. A necessary tool to correct negative behavior is consistency between parents and the child’s teacher. Carita Felices Child Development Center believes that working together in a partnership, is a great benefit to the child who may be having difficulties with the pressure of school and everyday life events. We support the full participation of every child’s strengths by promoting a sense of belonging.
