Good Adventure Family Home Day Care's photo
I hold that it is important for a child to have experiences by him/herself and with other children and adults in a safe, positive, accepting atmosphere where he/she can explore the limits of his/her environment and his/her individual abilities. My philosophy encompasses the belief that parents are vital in the classroom, not just to maintain discipline, although that is a small part of the process, but for other reasons as well.

Early Childhood Learning Centers are dedicated to providing hands-on learning experiences that consider the whole child. We believe the foundation for discovery and logical thinking in a preschooler is developed through play and other engaging hands-on activities. It is through this kind of engagement that a child is given the opportunity and the time to ask questions and develop answers to those questions at his or her own pace.
