- Our Goals & Objectives
Our
goal is to give the children a good foundation for future
learning and social development and to get them ready
for kindergarten. Primarily, we plan to foster feelings
of competence and self-worth in children. By encouraging
exploration and experimentation and allowing the children
to grow and develop at their own pace, we feel we can
fulfill this goal. The children are given opportunities
for group and individual play and are encouraged to
make their own choices and to participate in problem
solving. Finally, we encourage understanding and respect
for the diversity of the children and families in our
Center.
The Child Development Center
will:
- Provide young children with high
quality education and care that promote their intellectual,
physical, social, emotional, linguistic and creative
growth and development.
- Demonstrate developmentally
appropriate practices in early childhood education.
- Generate new knowledge regarding
the development and education of young children.
- Encourage collaboration with
families to maximize the child’s healthy growth
and learning.
- Serve as a professional development
site for Antelope Valley College Early Childhood Education
certificate program, California State University Child
Development internship program and local high schools
Regional Occupation Programs (ROP).
- Continue to mentor and guide
new early childhood practitioners by our mentor teachers
and mentor director.
