Mission
We help children discover a way of dealing with life that is realistic, comfortable, and satisfying. Self-confidence is nurtured as children learn to rely on themselves and each other. The noncompetitive environment is one that allows each child to develop and mature emotionally, socially, physically, and intellectually at their own pace. Through planned activities, children are challenged to explore ideas, solve problems, develop, and expand language and concept skills. To implement our philosophy, we give children choices. They can experiment and explore with activities designed to meet their needs in all areas of development.
Program accomplishments
- The Linda Vista Children's Center ("LVCC") curriculum is carefully planned by the teachers to offer choices designed to encourage physical skills, cognitive learning, problem-solving, and independence. Active phyisical play, conceptual learning, art, music, science, math concepts, literature, and dramatic play are part of the daily program. LVCC students are grouped by age and developmental readiness. Each classroom is supervised by a lead teacher. Curriculum varies according to age. As children mature, they engage in increasingly more inticate and challenging activities. The curriculum also varies from year to year, since no one group of children is like another. This flexibility allows our teachers to opportunity to assess the nature of their group and design their lesson plans accordingly.Expenses $1,550,705 · revenue $1,963,762
