Mission Statement
Apples and Books Learning Center's mission is to provide quality childcare and early childhood education with flexible programs designed to nurture the growing child in a clean, safe and loving environment.
Philosophy
We believe that each child is unique and has an individual pattern and timing for growth, as well as individual personality, learning style and family background.
Children's sense of self worth derives in large part from their experiences within the family. We would like to be an extension of you to your child. Our concern is supporting and strengthening the family through childcare. We welcome parents to be a part of this educational process by providing us regularly with information on your family background, experiences and culture.
We believe that learning should be fun and in an environment in which each child is encouraged to develop completely as a trusting, self-reliant, independent, communicative and loving individual.
The methods of guidance used by our teachers are designed for prevention of conflict rather than punishment. Positive guidance is provided by praising acceptable behavior, reflecting children's feelings and diverting their attention to appropriate activities.
