You don't expect much more than that, except for the person to meet the basic needs of your child. At the Messiah College Early Learning Center, we are equipped to meet the children's basic needs and also to bring them to their fullest potential for learning, based on their readiness. Our excellent teacher-child ratio allows us to work individually with the children to insure that they are developing at their own rates. We will assist the children in discovering new ways to solve problems, in writing their names, in using numbers, and in distinguishing colors. But more important, we will provide learning experiences to develop the child's self-esteem, foster communication skills, and build on existing knowledge.
Wants differ, needs differ, and learning abilities differ.
A teacher working with your child each day will soon discover your child's capabilities and interests. At the Messiah College Early Learning Center these capabilities and interests are channeled into individual lessons to enhance your child's learning. The challenge comes about each time your child discovers something new or adds a little to already existing knowledge. Our environment is prepared in such a manner that we can meet the needs of all children and stretch their capabilities and interests without stress to the child. We emphasize development of a positive self- concept.
