Philosophy
Ample research shows that children learn best while playing…..our program encourages children to learn through play and teacher directed activities that support learning in centers .For example while playing in block area , children learn many skills, problem solving (cause an effect) counting, sorting, taking turns and working together to form relationships with classmates and teachers. Teachers can pose questions that can help a child be able to predict problem solving through play. Children learn social skills, learn self-confidence, and they learn about emotions and self -regulations. Children learn taking turns and sharing through experiences and through play. Our daily schedule allows time for teacher lead activities in a whole group setting as well as small group setting .
Location
Main entrance is on Ingles Street, just past Second Street on the left. Church parking lot is across the street from main entrance.
