​We believe that for children to build a firm foundation for life they need to have hands on experiences, strong relationships, and a healthy environment. We believe that before we sit a child down to learn their colors, letter, and etc that they need to have a trusting relationship with those around them and feel comfortable with their environment. Once they have this they'll have a higher chance of obtaining what they learn and can continue to build those relationships around them through learning, resolving conflict and problem solving together.

​Our center uses the Bank Street program model. Which Erik Erikson was one of the theorist of and is also one who our centers staff admires.

If you would like to learn more about where we stand on the Bank Street model and Erik Erikson's theories, please click the following button.
