Description: CESA #11 Head Start’s philosophy is that children learn best when fully involved and self-directed in their learning. This child-centered philosophy supports our belief that children are unique individuals who learn at different rates and in their own ways. It is our responsibility to allow each child the opportunity to grow and develop to his/her fullest potential in the most nurturing environment possible. In a child-centered classroom, children are encouraged to direct themselves among a variety of child initiated activities, arranged by the teaching staff. Children learn by observing, exploring and interacting with materials and other people. In this environment teaching staff function as facilitators, participators and observers of children.
We believe parents are an integral part of the child’s learning process. Open communication between teachers and parents is essential. Both teacher and parents work together to plan and facilitate the educational goals for the child. They assist teaching staff with classroom planning, special events, implementation of our curriculum and daily routines.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
