"School for Young Children’s educational philosophy is based on early childhood research and theories that emphasize:
The early childhood years are the most important developmental years of a person’s life.
Children learn best at their own pace in a non-biased environment that is nurturing, supportive, and replete with developmentally appropriate activities.
Children learn through their senses; learning activities must be concrete, real, and relevant.
Children should be given the opportunity to explore, discover, create and interact with their environment.
Learning environments should be rich with opportunities for children to communicate, and develop self-control.
Learning environments should also facilitate the development of self-esteem. Children should be respected, accepted, and comforted regardless of their behavior.
The focus of the early childhood curriculum should be on the whole child. It should provide for all areas of development: social, emotional, intellectual, and physical"
