Vision 

Fostering a love for learning. 

Mission

 Inspire learning within the community by providing high quality, affordable, part-time childcare and preschool programs.

Philosophy 

We believe that children learn best in a child-centered environment, supported by caring adults.  Our aim is to promote a child’s growth and development by considering their social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional needs.  We believe that children are naturally motivated to make sense of their world and the primary vehicle in their quest for knowledge is play. They are active participants and have the freedom to experiment, discover, and learn independently in our supportive environment.

We believe that balance is achieved by providing an adaptable program and schedule that meets the needs of children and families.  We know that one-size does not fit all, and therefore our part-time, affordable program is as diverse as the children we care for.

We believe families are fundamental to establishing supportive, collaborative relationships with children and the community.  Respectful, honest communication and joint decision making are the basis of these relationships.  As a result, our open and approachable, family centered environment creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn and grow.
