Child Care
Where Education Matters
Program Philosophy
​
Michael's Child Care (MCC) gives children ages 6-weeks through 5 years enriching opportunities to develop the whole child. We focus on learning through child-directed play experiences and curriculum time.
We believe a balance of play and preschool enhances growth and development in all learning areas: physical, social and emotional, fine/gross motor, cognitive, and language/literacy. This is achieved in a safe and loving environment with teachers who are dedicated to enriching children’s lives.
​
At MCC, we believe that, from brith, all children are unique and ready to learn. With support from caring teachers and a rich learning environment, children will learn, play, explore, create, and develop relationships that will have them be successful throughout their years. Our program philosophy is built on the following beliefs:​
​
-
Trusting, nurturing, and respectful relationships between children and adults are essential for development.
-
A teacher’s role is as a facilitator/guide.
-
A play-based, hands-on active learning environment is most appropriate for young learners.
