At the Child Development Center, children participate in developmentally appropriate activities, as prescribed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

These experiences are designed to promote the most important accomplishments of the early years helping the child to feel competent, building a healthy sense of self-esteem, and encouraging enthusiasm toward school and learning.

Developmentally appropriate practices are based on knowledge of child development and children's changing needs as they grow.

The school's educators adhere to the philosophy that young children must be psychologically, socially, and physically prepared before they can be expected to achieve academically.

Our aim is to guide each child in the development of self-esteem, confidence, and a positive self-identity.

The mission of the Child Development Center is to the best of our abilities, to ensure the positive emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development of all young children who enter our Center; to use only developmentally appropriate educational practices to prepare them for success in school and in life; to support children, their teachers, and their families; and realizing that we cannot serve all children within the walls of the Center, to be advocates for children everywhere, promoting their causes and their well being whenever and wherever possible.
