Research shows that relationships play a critical role in the brain development of young children. Our curriculum, Funshine Express incorporates activities to help adults build strong relationships by paying attention to children’s feelings, interests, and needs.

Our educational philosophy is that young children develop and learn best when they have opportunities to:

• Observe and be part of respectful, supportive, and friendly adult-child and child interactions.

• Engage in experimenting, exploring, creating, discovering, and idea-sharing through play.

• Become involved in activities that are personally and developmentally right for the them.

Family Involvement is as integral a component of high-quality childcare as providing direct education and care to children. We respect and support families by maintaining ongoing communication between educators and parents (and other important family members).
