School Philosophy and Mission
"Our mission is to provide childcare which encourages, enhances and reinforces the development of each child as a whole child, respecting each family's uniqueness.
Preschool children need to be actively involved in finding things out and sharing discoveries with others. This kind of "active learning" does not happen at a table with a pencil and paper, but rather through exploring, touching, questioning, problem solving, and pretending through play. CDI uses The Creative Curriculum which is dedicated to creating a positive, supportive learning environment for all children.
