Philosophy
The philosophy of our Early Childhood Center incorporates the understanding that children’s play, when skillfully supervised, is an expression of intelligence and growth and has historically been adapted and implemented as the Play-based theory. The teachers provide a program which, though informal on the surface, is carefully organized and absorbing for children. Teachers respond to the indications of each child’s interests and capabilities. Children’s individual strengths are recognized, built upon and documented while at Shándíín Child Development Center.
About our program
Our director has been with the Center for over 28 years, and we have been fortunate enough to have very little staff turnover. Many of our staff are bilingual. We love to teach the children and keep their days busy with fun learning concepts, and hands on learning activities.
