Our Mission

To provide a high-quality care and educational environment for young children that promotes lifelong learning and supports the academic and professional success of students, faculty, and staff.

Our Philosophy

We believe that children are, by nature, curious and eager learners. We believe that young children learn best when they experience their environment first hand in play. It is their direct experience in the world with the people, places, and objects at hand that spark their innate desire to "find out", "figure out", or otherwise solve problems that present themselves through the course of everyday events. The teachers provide the expert guidance and support for "knowing" how things work and how to successfully live in the world with self and others.

Our Values

Childhood Education & Skill Building
Provide a quality educational environment that instills a love of learning and prepares children for school through education and skill building.
Student Development
Facilitate experimental learning opportunities for training, professional development, relationship building and career preparation.
Access & Success
Provide an affordable, accessible, and sustainable program that supports students, faculty, and staff in reaching their goals at the University.
Caring Community
Promote an environment that is safe, supportive, welcoming, inclusive and cultivates a sense of belonging for each child, family, student, and staff member.
