Early childhood is a very special time in your child's development. Great changes occur in this short period of time as children learn to communicate, increase their intellectual awareness, and make great physical strides.
At the Village Childcare Center, we use the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. This approach is a student-centered curriculum that uses self-directed, experiential learning in relationship-driven environments. This program is based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community learned through exploration, discovery, and play. At the core of this philosophy is the assumption that children form their own personality during the early years of development and that they are endowed with "a hundred languages", through which they can express their ideas. The aim of the Reggio approach is to teach children how to use these symbolic languages, such as art, in everyday life. Using this philosophy ensures that no two classrooms will be the same. To implement this concept, our teachers will guide students to work on projects that emphasize the interest of the classroom rather than themes that do not benefit your child.
Here at The Village, we choose to focus on each individual's strengths rather than their weaknesses. Our childcare philosophy is to provide an age-appropriate environment that develops self-esteem, confidence, and a love of learning. To create these conditions, we utilize our professionally educated staff and the materials to deliver an exceptional program to your child. Educationally, our goal is to foster a love of learning by integrating play and creativity into our curriculum. We challenge our students by promoting inquiry and encouraging discovery through exploring the world around them. This instills a sense of confidence in their ability to master new situations and tasks using their reasoning skills.
You know your child best. We encourage you to contact the school about any questions or concerns you might have. We look forward to becoming a part of your child's community.
We are dedicated to giving children a love of learning in a safe and secure environment. Our teachers design their own lesson plans to help children learn and explore the world at their own pace. Our teachers are loving, nurturing, trained professionals committed to maintaining the highest quality in early childhood education. Through onsite training provided by the Director, our teachers receive ongoing training in order to learn the latest developments within the field of Early Childhood Education.
The Village is a safe, secure, clean, and happy environment for children to grow and learn. Each child is treated as a unique individual. They are given individual attention within a group, allowing them to develop according to their own needs and rate of development. Our number one priority is providing every child with a loving and caring atmosphere that encourages the development of self-esteem, confidence, creativity, and a love of learning.
