Philosophy

Childhood Friends, Inc.'s philosophy acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of each child. It also supports the belief that a child's strong sense of self-esteem comes from experiencing success within an age appropriate environment enhanced by a rich, stimulating curriculum. The curriculum engages children's learning in all developmental areas, while at the same time allowing for individual differences in learning styles and encouraging creativity through a variety of play-based experiences. Our overall goals for the children in our program are: a strong sense of self confidence and self esteem, development of the whole child with emphasis on social/emotional skills and independence.
