PHILOSOPHY

Our Mission Statement: We Strive for Child Care Excellence

To provide a nurturing environment based on sensitivity to each child’s physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs.

The Caring Center believes that a child’s experience at our center should be based on a series of teachers’ aims and children’s rights.

Teachers’ Aims
  • That the children in our care are HAPPY, FEEL SAFE, and CARED ABOUT
  • That children’s real needs are noticed and met
  • That children are played with
  • That children have constructive activities available that are age and developmentally appropriate
  • That parents are supported in their role in caring for their children
Childrens’ Rights
  • The right to attentive and caring staff
  • The right to an environment that stimulates growth
  • The right to a clean center
  • The right to nutritious snacks
General Aims
  • Acceptance and concern for each child as a unique individual
  • Fostering a positive self-concept and healthy social relationships
  • Encouraging and stimulating each child to gain new skills and learn by doing
  • Experiencing creative expression through dramatic play, art, and music
  • Learning problem-solving methods
  • Expanding knowledge and interest in the world
  • Introducing children to other cultures, math, science, animals, and their environment
Philosphy and Christian Aim
  • The Caring Center is a non-denominational Christian facility, but we do not teach Christian doctrine.
  • We are not affiliated with any church or religious organization.
  • What does this look like at The Caring Center? Classrooms and/or individual students have the option of praying before lunch and afternoon snack. 
  • Our goal is to foster inclusivity and equitability. We promote this by learning about our family demographics--like cultural values and linguistic backgrounds.
