Our ongoing program provides a high quality day care in an atmosphere of loving and learning, while stressing the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of your child.
PHILOSOPHY
Childhood is the most critical period in human growth and development. It is this period when the foundation for learning is laid. Children’s brains develop at a rapid pace. For this reason, learning experiences for children need to be diverse, creative, and carefully planned on soundly researched principles of how young children develop and learn. Mis Primeros Pasitos strives to promote quality, early care and learning programs that encourage the development of the whole child from the time they enroll in our program until they depart.
Our program philosophy is founded on a developmental learning model which promotes all areas of a child’s development, including emotional, social, linguistic, physical, and cognitive. This model of learning requires that all aspects of our program be focused on learning experiences based on the child’s developmental age and interests, their individual needs and learning styles, and on meaningful experiences that reflect the child’s cultural background.
Families are an important partner in children’s learning. The sharing of information and insight about the individual child’s needs and development help to provide consistency and support between the learning center and home, fostering the child’s total growth and development. Teacher/family partnerships are essential components of quality programs.
