The philosophy of Kids Depot is to provide a developmentally appropriate program for young children that fosters the whole child concept, respects each child as an individual and stimulates a child’s natural interest in, and enjoyment of, learning. We believe that given the opportunity, all children have natural abilities to thrive and grow; we applaud our parents for giving them that opportunity by bringing them to our schools.
Kids Depot’s daily classroom practice and programming objectives will be designed to support the program’s philosophy and the established long-term goals. Our educational philosophy is supported by our curriculum, as well as by the teachers, families, and parents involved in the program, providing role models for our children. It is critical, then, for parents to choose a program with an educational philosophy that matches and supports their family values and their goals for their child. We respect and believe in each child as a unique individual with the ability to construct knowledge about themselves, others, and the world around them through active learning.
We are committed to lower child-to-teacher ratios and smaller class sizes to enable teachers to: Spend more time with each child, developing closer teacher-child bonds of affection, trust and respect; Assess carefully each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth and progress to individualize the program accordingly; Work with children in small groups.
