PHILOSOPHY

Capstone Child Care Academy believes that children learn best when they are having fun through play. We feel that early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be respected and treated as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, questioning, and imagination. Our program provides structure through child-initiated and teacher-planned activities in a safe, healthy, and happy atmosphere. Children need to have an opportunity to manipulate concrete materials, with teachers being an active facilitator, to increase the child’s learning experience. The program builds on the child’s interests with special emphasis on language, computers, early reading, science and outdoor experiences. Additional emphasis is focused on art, music, Spanish, sign language, math, and dramatic play.
