Many children have come to us as infants and stayed until they were ready for kindergarten.
In their formative years our primary focus has always been on childrens social and emotional growth: helping them gradually learn to relate to others to feel and show empathy and concern, express their feelings, relate to adults other than their parents, follow directions.
We see them grow from the natural self-centered state of the infant and toddler into small people who can cooperate, collaborate and treat others as they would like to be treated, ready to function in social situations, such as school.
Cognitive development things like learning words, numbers, colors, shapes is a secondary but still important focus.
We believe in the importance of play, not only for the benefits of physical exercise, but because thats how children learn best.
So while they regularly work on activities like drawing, coloring and other art projects, we dont sit them down to fill in pages of workbooks, or use computers. Thats for when theyre older.
We feel that preschool years are for the discoveries that grow out of playing and interacting with others.
We have an open door policy. Parents are welcome to visit at any time and to talk to their childs teachers. Commonly parents do that in the mornings when the children are dropped off. During the year we schedule two individual parent-teacher conferences in which parents and teachers can compare notes on how their child is doing, and talk about specific needs or concerns, or for parents just to better know the people who are caring for their kids.
We dont do a lot of advertising. Most parents searching for child care find Learn and Grow through word-of-mouthin other words, from parents of children who have been enrolled in our center and have been happy to recommend us.
