MISSION STATEMENT and GOALS

Birchwood Day Nursery School is committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for each child while offering opportunities for discovery and learning in cognitive, physical, social, and emotional areas of development. 

Philosophy and Program Goals
We believe:

  • that carefully designed balance of teacher/child directed activities, “hands on” environment, and play are important vehicles for the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development of children. 
  • that all children are individuals who learn in their own way and at their own pace.
  • that young children learn best through educational experiences that are developmentally appropriate.
  • that parents are a vital part of the learning process.
  • in a collaborative approach to education.
  • children learn from each other as well as from role models.
  • a qualified, dedicated staff is critical to the development and maintenance of a quality early childhood program.

Our primary goals are to: promote the development of a positive self-image, develop the whole child, help children become enthusiastic learners, foster independence and confidence, and develop a sense of belonging for children and their families. 

All of these areas combined will allow each child to learn, grow and develop as he/she discovers the world around him/her.
