 
The
Children's Campus is a place where children thrive in the best possible
learning environment while receiving loving, attentive care.
Our
Philosophy
Our
program is based on a developmental approach to learning, taking
into consideration the social, emotional and cognitive growth of
chidren ages six weeks through five years. To accomplish our goal
of providing a well-balanced program that meets the developmental
needs of each individual child, we utilize both teacher-directed
and child-directed learning experiences.
Feed
a Child's Mind and Watch It Grow
Play
is at the heart of our preschool curriculum. Our program incorporates
an abundance of enriching daily activities and experiences designed
to be stimulating and fun, while reinforcing the learning curriculum.
Teachers also develop individual goals so that every child receives
the attention, challenges, and guidance he/she needs to be successful.
Each
Day Begins with Circle Time
We
start each day with Circle Time, a group gathering in which we greet
one another and introduce the topic and plans for the day. The children
are encouraged to share their ideas and ask questions. Circle activities
are designed to create a sense of community, stimulate thinking,
enhance social skills, build self-esteem and expand each child's
attention span.
Encouraging
Active Minds and Bodies
Every
classroom consists of ten diverse learning centers designed to stimulate
the physical and educational growth of young children. Once Circle
Time is complete, teachers and staff engage the class (both as a
group and one-on-one) in various learning center activities.

Additional
Curriculum Programs
We
go above and beyond to provide each child with learning opportunities
beyond the standard preschool experience. Our multi-cultural program
provides a window to other cultures of the world, using food, books,
toys and themed activities. We offer Spanish classes weekly for
children ages two to five. Children three to five years old will
have the opportunity to explore computer science daily. The Open
Court Reading is offered in our pre-kindergarten classes to teach
phonics and enhance our whole language curriculum. These are just
a few of the ways that we encourage children to expand their horizons.
Mealtimes
are Fun and Healthy
Good
nutrition is essential to a child's physical and cognitive development.
Our little ones enjoy healthy lunches consisting of a meat or meat
subsitute, bread or grain, a vegetable, fresh fruit and milk. Healthy
snacks are served in the morning and afternoon. Snacks include a
bread/grain and one of the following: cheese, fresh fruit, fresh
vegetable or 100% fruit juice.
