A varity of experiences will be provided to promote physical, social, intellectual and spiritual development at every age level with age appropriate activities. We attempt to enhance positive self-concept, independence, and respect, both for self and others. We encourage children to initiate, ask questions and make limited choices. They are given opportunities to learn about and express feelings in appropriate ways. Children will learn cooperation and how to find alternative solutions through group activity, sharing experiences and positive reinforcement. Children of all ages will be encouraged to help keep our childcare clean and safe by picking up after themselves and helping with clean up.                                                                            

Our goal for the preschoolers is to have them ready with a sound background to begin kindergarten. We strive for each child to have the knowledge and self confidence to do their best and be proud of their achievements.                                                                                                It is our goal to be partners with the parents in each child's care and development and to support the family.
