Young children acquire meaningful information and knowledge about their physical and social world by actively participating in many different experiences with real objects and real people.

The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for children to develop into confident, competent human beings in all four growth areas – physical, social, intellectual and emotional. To attain this goal the following basic premises will serve as guidelines in planning the daily program.

• We learn best and retain knowledge longer, when we have a need and/or a desire to know,
• Rote learning creates robots,
• Learning comes through INVOLVEMENT,
• Children want to win the approval of the adults who are close to them,
• Learning begins where the child IS, starting with the familiar and progressing to new,
• Children learn through PLAY

The primary role of the teachers is to guide and facilitate the learning process by presenting developmentally appropriate materials and activities that pose additional challenges and stimulate the child’s curiosity. Further extensions of the child’s own thinking is the desired goal. The teachers will be aware of the progress of each child in each area of growth so that individual differences in ability and interest are personally respected. Enhancement of the child’s self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning are of paramount importance.
