About Us
Introduction
We are honored that you have become a part of our in-home childcare. We share a small amount of your child’s life and are privileged to be given the opportunity. Our goal is to impact our students’ lives educationally, emotionally, and socially so they are provided with a strong foundation for their educational career. We look forward to working as a family to help each child reach goals that are set for them throughout their time at State of the Arts. We strive not only to provide a challenging academic program but a secure, personal environment of care to each individual student. We hope that we can exceed all our families’ expectations and want to take this time to personally welcome your family to State of the Arts.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide high quality, developmentally appropriate childcare for all ages, with a focus on the individual child's age and ability to stimulate social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth. Development occurs in the context of relationships (adult relationships). The context of family and community culture influences every aspect of development. Our mission is to help families grow with their child as learning experiences begin with family. We value children’s home language as it is vital to their development. We will work together as a team to gain information through authentic, observational assessment related to the guidelines used to inform families and plan individualized curriculum activities and strategies to help each child grow and develop. We will provide a safe, nurturing, and recreational environment for children in our care.
Our Philosophy
We believe that each child is an individual and as educators, we will value and develop each child's strengths, interests, skills, abilities, and knowledge to extend their learning. Young children are eager learners and even infants are born learning. Our childcare believes all children are capable of learning. The most reliable and informative assessment process is the observation and documentation of children’s performance in activities and routines that take place throughout the day while in our care. We will provide opportunities for children to explore, discover, create, and imagine through fun and exciting activities.
