We believe all children to be basically good and each unique. As a staff we must provide for these differences in a framework of caring, acceptance, and understanding.

We believe that children need limits that are clear and well defined but comfortable to move within. We believe that every child has the right to think and act creatively within these limits in developing and being their best self.

We believe that each child has the right to effective instruction (must learn the basics) that is geared to their ability and readiness, to develop to their full potential.
