 Goals

Quality Time Child Care and Preschool’s goals have been developed from extensive research on how children develop and learn. Our program goals include:

• Setting the stage for the happiest, most productive, self-fulfilling year possible for each child.
• Stimulating optimum development of skills in social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative areas.
• Instilling in each child a sense of self-worth.
• Fostering independence, to help each child acquire a positive self-image.
• Conveying that the child is an important, contributing member of the program; he/she is valued for being him/herself.
• Providing challenging learning experiences, from a well-balanced curriculum program, that fosters a desire for the quest of knowledge and a zest for learning.
• Providing learning experiences, through curriculum, which spark the child’s curiosity, and set into motion his/her thought process.
• Ensuring a happy transition from the home environment.
• Providing social experiences with peers and adults that develop knowledge of human relations and human interactions.
• Instilling in the child respect for him/herself, and for others feelings, beliefs and actions.
• Stressing the value of friendship, and its many dimensions.
• Guiding children in finding acceptable outlets for the expression of negative emotions.
