Our Philosophy

An important factor to consider when choosing daycare is the type of learning style and overall philosophy of the facility.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide high quality early education support for young children that will enhance their healthy development including social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth while providing a warm, caring, and nurturing environment for the strong development of the powers of imagination and creativity. We will strive to establish strong collaborative relationships with each child's family so the goal of having a safe, healthy and happy child is shared by all.
Childcare Philosophy
The Country Acres Center employs a developmentally appropriate and culturally rich curriculum throughout the day along with effective care-giving approaches to provide the children with a high quality childcare experience. We welcome children with all ability levels into our daycare program. Training of staff and parents happens regularly on cultural diversity, typical child development and developmental disabilities so our staff is comfortable and accepting of all our children and their families enrolled in our programs.
The language based curriculum addresses all areas of a child's cognitive, social and emotional development. The curriculum and the space provide the children with age appropriate, hands-on activities and a variety of materials to explore and investigate. Developmentally appropriate play is fostered through careful arrangement of materials and furnishings. Country Acres Center programs promote positive relationships between staff, children and their family members.

Positive Discipline Policy

Children will be given developmentally and age appropriate opportunities that will allow them to learn respect for self and others increase their self-esteem and developing self-control strategies.  This will be done with guidance from their caregivers that will be done with the utmost respect for the children and in a manner that always preserves the child’s self-esteem.
