The children
are introduced to a balanced program of interaction with
friends in both teacher-directed and child-directed
experiences. The daily schedule includes free choice of
time spent in the learning centers, group times for
creative movement, music, storytelling and
dramatization.
The program we pursue is geared toward helping children
develop habits of observation, questioning and
listening. It gives each child an awareness of one=s own
feelings and of one's right to express those feelings,
sometimes channeling them into more appropriate means of
expression. The children learn they are free to make
choices as long as they stay within limits of
consideration for other people and things.
Children are treasured for their uniqueness and
individuality and are encouraged in self-expression.
Such an open-minded program prepares children to utilize
their intellectual and creative abilities for future
learning tasks. Our professional staff encourages
exploration and growth in a well equipped environment
that is stimulating , safe, consistent and nurturing. We
strive to enhance each child's natural curiosity and
love of learning. The Wonder Years provides
opportunities for each child to master tasks that are
appropriate to his or her individual level of
development.
We are committed to working closely with parents toward
the welfare of the whole family.
