Our Goals
Goals
It is our goal to help children recognize their capabilities and to provide the opportunity and guidance to develop them. It is our aim to develop a child's curiosity, self-concept, self-discipline, and problem-solving ability. We strive to meet each child's developmental needs, realizing that they will not enter at the same level nor will they all reach the same level of achievement at the end.
We attempt to imbue the child with compassion and respect for his/her peers and to practice courtesy and consideration in his/her relationship.
We strive to promote and encourage each child to develop interests in cultural and worthy leisure-time pursuits.
