Each year at Children's Center we maintain the standards of a first-quality preschool education.
We expect and are striving to create an environment and program which will facilitate the growth of each child at his/her own rate in the in the areas of social, physical, emotional and intellectual development.
Our program is based upon a child centered philosophy, realizing that each child is an individual, growing at his/her own rate and on his/her own level and emphasizes the continuum of development which occurs within the individual child during their three, four and five year old experiences.
Through our staff, our facility, and our supportive parent-staff involvement, we aim to provide the best possible learning environment to foster the growth of each child enrolled at our school.
