Our Philosophy

In accordance with NAEYC guidelines and practices, Village 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. Village incorporates meaningful experiences for the children and allows for learning to occur in “their world.” Village implements developmentally appropriate practices to ensure that 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, self-confident and independent children who will grow up to be caring, happy, and productive citizens.
