PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT Our goal is to provide a secure, caring environment where learning is fun. We believe that children learn best by becoming participants in the learning process through hands on activities. Materials and activities are provided to stimulate the child’s imagination, creativity, problem solving skills and large and small muscle coordination. Independence, self-control and self-direction are encouraged. Admission Policy Our policy is to provide equal opportunity for families and children to participate in our school’s program and to assure that there is no discrimination against any family or child based on the grounds of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, belief, age or sex. We will serve exceptional needs children as long as we can meet their assisted needs. In instances where we cannot adequately meet the child’s needs, we will refer the family to other suitable placement. We reserve the right to terminate a contract if we feel we no longer we can meet the needs of the child with reasonable accommodations. The needs of the majority of the children will also be taken into account before taking this action. REGISTRATION Registration is necessary to assure your child’s admittance to our center. We charge an enrollment fee of $35 per school year. This is NON REFUNDABLE. GUIDANCE/DISCIPLINE Children feel secure when there are well defined limits, routines, and safe environments. They will receive well planned activities, consistency, and positive encouragement and praise by the teachers. We offer choices within limits and logical consequences to their actions. Physical discipline is NOT part of our program. CONFERENCES Parent Teacher Conferences can be held at any time by the request of the parent or teacher.
