This includes a loving, comfortable, safe and nurturing environment with the security of relationships with caring adults. We believe that the right staffing is critical. We strive to employ only child care providers who are loving, nurturing, energetic, patient, mature, educated and excited to be working with children. As primary care givers, our staff members treat children as important people, and take the time to listen to each child’s point of view. We believe that children develop a sense of their own value through the way they are treated by the adults in their world. We strive for a relaxed atmosphere so that children need not feel rushed, and can explore at their own pace.
