My School!: Philosophy We believe that a high quality children’s program provides a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children while responding to the needs of their families. All of our programs will be developmentally appropriate - both age appropriate and appropriate to the individual needs of each child. Human development research indicates that there are universal, predictable sequences of growth and development that occur in children in the first nine years of life. These predictable changes occur in all domains of development – physical, emotional, social and cognitive. A comprehensive knowledge of typical development of children within the age span served by this program will provide a framework from which our teachers prepare the learning environment and plan appropriate experiences. At My School! We believe that planning successful programs goes beyond considering what is appropriate for a particular age group. Since all children are individually unique; understanding each child’s growth pattern, personality, learning style, strengths, interests, experiences and family background is equally important to our teachers in developing a curriculum that is responsive to these individual differences. Learning is the result of interaction between the child’s thoughts and experiences with materials, ideas, and people. We are committed to providing experiences that will match a child’s developing abilities, while also challenging that child’s interest and understanding.
