Jean Lyles philosophy about early childhood education still guides the principles on which JLCC was founded. Jean explained to students and parents that a good preschool supplies things which may be difficult to provide at home:
A group of children of the childs own age with whom your child can play
Supervision by professionally qualified adults
An environment in which the furniture and equipment are scaled to the size and age of the child.
Moreover, a good preschool will strengthen and extend the experience and training you are providing your child at home. Among the objectives for the Childrens Center are:
To encourage children to respond and communicate with other people
To help each child gain independence and adequacy in routine tasks
To enhance their skills in using and controlling the body
To increase comprehension of ideas and ability to express them
To help each child find and develop his or her own talents
To help each child grow in respect for self and others, including other cultures
To strengthen the transition from home care to school routine for parents and children
To help each child find satisfaction in learning to live with him/herself and others
