Philosophy
It is the desire of the Center Staff and Governing Board to provide developmentally
appropriate experiences, which will help youngsters to develop intellectually,
physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, with a group of children
their own age. The philosophy of the First Presbyterian Children’s Care Center
is to understand and support each child as an individual. We also believe
that children grow and develop to their fullest potential if given the opportunity
to explore, create and problem solve, with materials which are appropriate
to their developmental age. Our Center will offer each child a warm, safe and
nurturing environment and provide activities to promote cooperation,
independence, creativity and a sense of self-esteem. We will also encourage
a sense of caring for community and an awareness of the world around them.
