Program Objectives and Goals
We believe that all children have the right to be treated with dignity and respect. As a staff, every effort is to be made to be sensitive and responsive to the needs and interests of each child. The teacher’s task is to observe carefully and work with parents and staff to provide the means so that those can be met. In order to meet the needs of the developing children and provide quality care we have adopted a curriculum technique which strives to:
