Children are innately curious, active and can be trusted to become intimately involved in relevant learning experiences. Each child has the right to be respected as a valuable individual. This appreciation will develop positive self esteem, respect for others and form the foundations for strong moral value systems. Children learn by modeling the behaviors of the adults around them. Our responsibility, as teachers and caregivers, includes modeling responsive behaviors, quality communication and constructive problem-solving skills.
Children learn by actively manipulating their environments.
Allowing them the freedom to make mistakes and structuring the opportunities for success give children a power over their surroundings that increases self esteem, independence and cognitive growth. Programs Great Pacific Child Development Center offers a variety of programs that reinforce our philosophy and goals. All babies are given the freedom to explore and interact with other children. Time is provided for uninterrupted play within an environment that is physically safe, cognitively challenging and emotionally nurturing. Preschool Our preschool program accepts children from 2 years to 5 years of age.
