Learning through Play

Research shows that learning through play is an important part of a child’s development. A child begins to find out who they are through play.  Through play and with the use of educational toys, children learn many different skills they will need in their life such as:

• Problem solving and learning cause and effect
• Learning how to play with others through compromise, conflict resolution and sharing
• Development of fine and gross motor skills
• Nurturing their creativity and imagination
• Discovering their independence and positive self-esteem

Philosophy of Learning

Recognizing that children grow in predictable stages, we treat each child as an individual by allowing him/her to work and play at his/her own level.  We teach a love of learning by allowing children to fully experience their own stage of development without pressure.  Both our indoor and outdoor environments are carefully planned to encourage independence and choices.  A wide variety of activities are offered in the areas of creative art, math, science, tactile play, music and movement, large motor, practical life, dramatic play, language arts, fine motor and manipulatives.
