Our Mission
It is the mission of Creative Minds to provide quality childcare for the families in our community in a warm and nurturing learning environment. We emphasize our center’s focus in a bilingual Spanish immersion program. Our goal is to prepare children for their life challenges and academic growth.
🧩
Our Philosophy
Creative Minds promotes a play based educational program while integrating different philosophies such as Reggio Emilia and Montessori. Within Reggio Emilia and Montessori, children are self-directed in their learning while the teachers facilitate their learning and provide them with developmentally appropriate tools. The classroom environment is carefully designed to reflect the children’s interest while cultivating positive self-image, independence, and compassion.
We maintain teacher-directed and child-initiated activities that help build cognitive, physical, and social emotional skills. Here at Creative Minds, we encourage creativity and individualism. Our program structure promotes the development of positive social skills, self-esteem and self-discipline. We believe that children are best prepared for the challenges in their life when they are in a supportive and nurturing environment.
🎯
Our Goals
The program goals that guide our curriculum and teaching methodology are:
✓
Provide a safe, nurturing, and relaxed environment for each child’s physical, emotional, and social well-being.
✓
Encourage children to develop a positive self-image, self-reliance, and a sense of their own independence.
✓
Teach children social skills: the ability to share, work together, communicate effectively, and respect one another.
✓
Provide structured and unstructured time for children to spend in a variety of activities and satisfying learning experiences.
✓
Provide children with the skills and techniques that allow them to gain control over their environment and competence in their abilities.
✓
Encourage active curiosity about the world and to promote enthusiasm for learning.
✓
Provide Spanish language development and an appreciation of all cultures.
✓
Help children develop self-discipline by providing an environment with reasonable limits and expectations.
✓
Encourage good stewardship of our world: to care for their belongings, show respect for the belongings of others, and appreciate the world in which we live.
✓
Encourage an environment that promotes respect and appreciation for other cultures and inclusion.
