Our Vision

Our vision for the children in our care is for them to play and discover their world through four specific lenses: art experiences, sensory experiences, outdoor experiences and life experiences.

Art Experiences

• Each child will take home one piece of art each week.
• Children will gain exposure to various forms of art such as drawing, sketching, painting, sculpture, photography, videography, dance, drama, and music.
• Children’s art and experiences are shared weekly onsite and through social media.
• Art is messy and children will get messy in the process.
• Art is child made.

Sensory Experiences

• Children will explore each of the five senses (Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste, and Smell) through intentional activities that encourage exploration.
• We will incorporate sensory activities weekly.
• Unique sensory materials will be used whenever possible.

Outdoor Experiences

• Incorporate outdoor reading time for all ages when weather appropriate.
• Utilize outdoor time to enjoy all seasons when appropriate.
• Bring art outside with art specific areas for children to create.
• Bring learning centers into the outdoors.
• Explore nature, gardening, and our impact on the earth.

Life Experiences

• Children will be encouraged to develop self-help skills.
• Children will explore home living skills such as cleaning, organizing, cooking, shopping, etc.
• Older children will gain exposure to economics and finance and deepen their knowledge of career paths.
• Children will gain exposure to a variety of health and fitness activities, including two fun and fitness activities per week.
• Children will examine nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet.
• Children will deepen their knowledge of a range of emotions and learn how to manage emotions in a variety of settings.
• Children will have opportunities for self-expression and self-reflection
