GOALS –
In the ECP teachers value and accommodate each childs style of learning while providing structured and spontaneous opportunities
for play and development. We believe that play is the primary way in which young children develop physical social emotional and
cognitive skills. Most things that children have learned from infancy forward are the direct result of their natural curiosity and need
to know about the world in which they live. No one has to tell them to touch look explore or develop language; learning is a
positive and natural drive in them. The ECP strives to provide an environment that facilitates age appropriate development of:
*self-confidence and a positive self-image;
*enthusiasm for the learning process;
*effective problem solving;
*complex skills in the social emotional cognitive and physical areas of development;
*a general respect for others; and
*a feeling of group belonging.
