Core Values
While diversity may include different faiths, gender roles, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity it is not limited to just these areas. We believe that diversity also includes the different physical, cognitive, and social abilities that one possesses. Everyone is unique and we value each person who walks through our doors! We strive to create a developmentally appropriate and engaging environment that not only reflects each child’s unique abilities but also encompasses their abilities and experiences. We all love to learn and play… even adults!
