Dear Parent,

            We are pleased to consider your family a part of our child care's family. 
            We look forward to a long-standing relationship with you and your child. 
            Each child in our day care is very important to us and we will make every 
            effort to keep your little one happy and safe; as well as encourage and 
            assist in his/her developmental growth.

            Program Philosophy:

            1. Children are respected as valued and unique individuals.
            2. Children are provided a healthy and safe environment.
            3. As teachers, we are sensitive to each child's needs and rate of development. 
            4. Children learn best by doing, with opportunities for choice, experience and problem solving.
            5. Basic skills are provided through a variety of activities that are relevant toward learning.
            6. Activities are designed to enhance self esteem and positive feeling toward learning.
            7. Children develop self discipline through positive guidance.
            8. We will guide children in a predictable, yet flexible environment that allows for creativity.
            9. We recognize, as parents' partners, the necessity of on-going, positive communication.
