Philosophy / Mission Statement:
Each Child Has Great Value
Our daycare is a home away from home. We believe that children are important
individuals and should be treated with respect and dignity regardless of race,
beliefs, or special needs. All children need to be loved, nurtured and guided to
grow physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially in the best way possible.
The Staff's Role
We believe that play is the main learning medium for children. Therefore,
children are provided with many play-centered activities to encourage
exploration, curiosity, and social interaction. The staff strive to be
supportive, gently, encouraging, working to build the child's self-esteem. All
staff are qualified and meet the requirements established by government
licensing agencies.
Our Beliefs
We believe that God reveals His personal self through creation, the Bible, and
the life of Jesus. In order to have a personal relationship with God, a person
must believe that God exists and that His Son Jesus Christ is the way to know
God. Here, the Christian ethic is taught and followed. Children hear both
secular and Bible stories, sing a variety of secular and Christian songs, and
pray before meals.
The Family
Children are encouraged to respect their parents and love their families. Each
family's differences are respected and staff will work together with parents to
uphold values that will build a strong community.
