Our PHILOSOPHY
The STC Mid Valley Campus Child Development Center is committed to providing a program that meets the needs of children in the areas of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, creative, and language development. The program forms partnerships with families in the development and education of their children. The focus of the curriculum is to provide a stimulating environment with challenging materials and well-planned developmentally appropriate activities. Children are provided a stimulating environment, which is available for their investigation, manipulation, and allows optimum time for independent activities. Sand and water play, blocks, music and movement, outdoors, technology, construction, art, dramatic play, library, science, math, and language areas are available to children at all times. Children are encouraged to make choices, decisions and develop problem solving skills.
