Our Mission

The mission of Village Early Childhood Center is to educate students socially and academically by building collaborative relationships with our students, families, and the community. We wish to empower our children with the tools they need to successfully meet the challenges of life and make positive contributions to their world.

A Note from Miss Christina

One of the most important things I have learned in my career as a childcare provider is no two children are alike. I wanted to create a program that was geared towards the individuality and uniqueness of each child. I believe children benefit the most through a hands-on approach to learning. The heart of our preschool is centered on family engagement. The old adage of it takes a village to raise a child holds true. We believe in order for children to be successful, we as educators must work collaboratively with the families we provide care for. Parents are a child’s first teachers and they set forth their foundation in learning. I look forward to having you part of our growing PreSchool family.

Our Philosophy

In accordance with NAEYC guidelines and practices, Village Early Childhood Center believes children learn through productive play and positive interactions within their environment. By

having planned activities and purposeful learning materials, children’s development is enhanced. We incorporate meaningful experiences for the children and allow for learning to occur in “their world.” Village Early Childhood Center implements developmentally appropriate practices to

ensure a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment is established so that the children can develop physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. It is our goal to foster the children into becoming independent learners and to instill a lifelong love for learning in their hearts.

Our program supports the relationship between children, their families, and our staff members. It is designed to provide children with meaningful experiences that encourage growth in all areas of development by involving them in an environment in which they can:


❖ Add to their knowledge and to their physical, social, and emotional development by observing and interacting with peers, adults, and materials

❖ Expand and develop their literacy and communication skills

❖ Increase their knowledge and ability to become involved in and make sense of the world by doing, interacting, exploring and experiencing

❖ Increase their skills in problem solving, negotiations, social interactions and independence


Our goals are to help facilitate the development of critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and self-confident and independent children who will grow up to be caring, happy, and productive

citizens.
