We also believe the curriculum is everything that happens in the classroom, from interactions and meals to singing and playing. Our staff never misses an opportunity to educate. We continue to develop and build on a child's existing informal education, as well as the holistic needs of the child, recognizing that children enter pre-school with different experiences. Our teacher-guided activities ensure that all children's development is supported and enriched. These activities are particularly important for children who come to school with relatively little exposure to any type of pre-school programOur philosophy is that it takes a village to raise a child and therefore parents and our staff work together to achieve these goals for the benefit of our children. The interaction between the children and our staff provide opportunities for children to develop an understanding of themselves and others, and is characterized by warmth, personal respect and individuality, positive support and responsiveness. We provide the opportunity for the development of the self-esteem, social competence, and intellectual growth, which is our first goal.We start ?taking steps for a healthy success? by adding a focus on healthy lifestyles approach, which is designed to make the child aware of healthier food choices and physical activity. We enrich our program with great resource that help us incorporate healthy physical activity and nutrition habits into our everyday routines. This is a learning that we strongly believe in and one that the child will bring with them for their forming years.When moms and dads drop off their children, they know we are helping their little ones? brains and bodies develop and grow up healthy. We can work together as a team to promote the importance of healthy lifestyles in our children?s early developmentAll journeys start with small steps, so we invite you to set up a visit time to come in and see our center.The Oak Ridge Team
