Young children learn by DOING.  They observe, touch, listen, smell and taste.  They explore their world, discover new information and organize it in many ways that are meaningful to them.  Through this active learning process young children learn about the physical world as well as about themselves in relation to other children and new adults.  Our philosophy is based on current research in child development and early childhood education.
