Our program is based on the developmental philosophy of Early Childhood Education. The goals of our program include providing each child with an individualized, safe, secure, nuturing, and anti-biased atmosphere. Our environment is rich in possibilities for exploring gender, race/ethnicity, and different ableness, thus, setting the scene for practicing an anti-bias curriculum. Other principle goals of our program are:

member of a larger group
