Philosophy and Approach
At Apple of Your Eye Early Childhood Center, we celebrate the individuality of each child. Our curriculum is designed around the belief that children learn best through play, within a nurturing and imaginative environment. This approach helps children develop control over their physical, emotional, cognitive, and social abilities, setting the stage for lifelong learning and success.
Community Integration
We view every child as a valued member of our community. Our aim is to create a secure and supportive atmosphere where children can flourish, with the backing of their families, the local community, and schools. We encourage interactions among children, their families, teachers, and the broader community to foster a sense of belonging and engagement.
Explorative Learning
Understanding that play is vital to a child’s development, our program emphasizes active exploration of their surroundings. We provide a variety of materials and activities that promote interaction with peers and adults, aiding children in constructing their understanding of the world. Daily outdoor activities are a crucial part of our curriculum, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Embracing Diversity
We maintain high expectations for all children, appreciating the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures they bring. We believe in the potential of every child to achieve positive developmental milestones and create an inclusive environment that nurtures all learners.
Recognizing Individual Growth
Children develop at their own unique pace, and we respect these individual differences. Our program adapts to the diverse developmental rates of children, ensuring that each child can meet their milestones in their own time and manner.
