Our mission is to provide quality childhood experiences to all children of Early Learning Children’s Center. Provide a safe and nurturing environment for all children to learn and grow at their own pace. Collaborate with families to strengthen relationships between owner/director, teachers, and families.
Our program’s philosophy is based on the belief that children learn through active exploration and social interaction within a safe and nurturing environment. Each day is made up a balance of active, quiet, individual and group activities along with meals and nap/rest. Families are an integral part of our program. We partner with families to help lay a foundation that fosters a child’s “love of learning” and to strengthen their ability to
acquire necessary skills as life -long learners.
Our curriculum is emergent, child-centered and play based. Planning the curriculum in each classroom will be based on:
*Knowledge of child development
*Understanding of developmentally appropriate practices and following the guidelines of developmentally appropriate practices
*Sensitivity to children’s personal experiences and interests
*Knowing that children learn through first-hand observation, play and direct experiences. Both adults and children initiate and make decisions. Curriculum is negotiated between what interests them and what adults know is necessary for children’s education and development. Our center also uses Creative and Emergent Curriculum and The Idaho Early Learning Guidelines. They are also platforms which learning takes place and include attributes for children to be successful in our program and in life.
