I believe that young children learn best when, in an atmosphere of safety and trust, they are encouraged to explore materials and ideas, and they understand that what they do is important, and has an effect on others. Through active involvement with their environment, they add pieces of information to what they already know, thereby generating new understandings of the world around them. As we provide an enriched, stimulating environment, children are offered the opportunity to learn and develop the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary to becoming independent, productive individuals.
