The Village School Children's Center

Mission Statement--Our mission at The Village School is to make available child care services that provide a responsive, developmentally appropriate environment for young children that supplements the home environment; facilitates optimal physical, intellectual, and social-emotional development in the children; and provides parents with a sense of security that their children are safe, nurtured, and appropriately stimulated.

Quality Goals-- The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has identified indicators of quality which are accepted by practitioners in early childhood education. Primarily, the components include small group size, low teacher-child ratios, teacher training, parental involvement, and an environment which is safe and clean. We at The Village School provide each of these key elements of quality care for your child.

Quality child care requires planning activities that promote the total development of children. To achieve the goal of total development, we provide activities planning at The Village School that considers all of your child's daily needs, such as physical activities, social and emotional development, and cognitive and intellectual development. Also considered in this developmental program are outdoor play, indoor play, meals, and naps. We are flexible in how your child spends each day, but we keep in mind that these basic activities are essential to healthy mental and physical and development.
