Elm Point Early Childhood Center

Elm Point Early Childhood Center recognizes the uniqueness of each child and through a teacher guided, child directed environment, children experience emotional, social, physical and cognitive development. Our work represents an investment in the human resources of our community – especially our children. We believe that Elm Point can make a difference in a child's life. Teachers and caregivers will provide love while meeting the needs of children in a safe and quality environment.

Philosophy

Children are valued as unique individuals who thrive in an environment that encourages them to become creative, independent, responsible, self-directed adults who can make decisions for themselves. This nurturing environment includes the relationships of the staff, parents, and children growing, working, and learning together.

Goals

The Elm Point Early Childhood Center educators have identified a variety of goals needed by every child to be successful in this world.

  • Emotional and Social To build relationships of mutual trust and respect among peers and adults; to enhance each child's self-concept and self esteem; to guide children to resolve conflicts and solve their own problems; to encourage and welcome the involvement of parents and family members in the program.

  • Physical To develop each child's fine and gross motor skills, as well as their awareness of safety concepts and good health habits.

  • Thinking and Intellectual To help children become curious, confident and creative so as to construct knowledge and values from interactions with the physical and social world.

  • Communication and Language To help children develop communication skills by using language to express needs, insights, excitement, and problem resolution; to develop self-expression through art and play such as dance, story telling, music, construction, and dramatics.
