Our teachers believe that all children are special and unique, that they develop at their own pace, should be accepted unconditionally and treated with respect, patience, understanding and fairness. We also believe that play is essential to a young child’s growth and development and that children learn by doing; through experimentation and “hands on” experiences. While here at our Center, we encourage children to believe in and respect themselves and others, work and play cooperatively and have fun!
At the Children’s Center, we approach preschool education as a team; parents and teachers working together to ensure a positive experience for all of our children. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing and educationally stimulating environment where children, supported by dedicated teachers, can grow and thrive in all aspects of their development.
Our Center currently offers four programs:
1. The Explorer Room: a full day program for children 2 years 9 months - 3 years old.
2. The Sunshine Room: a full day program for older 3- and younger 4-year-old children
3. The Rainbow Room: a full day program for older 4-year-old children
4. The SEED Program: a full day program for 5-year-old children
Children in our programs can experience all that the Boys & Girls Club facility has to offer: the skating rink, swimming pool, woodworking shop, kitchen and computer lab. During the summer months, children enrolled in the Center spend time at Camp Russell on Richmond Shores.
