Kids learn best through interacting with their world and through discovery. We use a hands-on approach throughout the curriculum and encourage kids to wonder and ask questions. I believe in taking kids where they are and finding ways to challenge and encourage them and take them as far as they can go in developmentally appropriate ways.

Children are intelligent, curious and capable beings. Our role as caretakers and educators is to provide a safe and inspiring environment for them to explore, experience and discover the world. I believe the library is an ideal place for this kind of exploration and is an essential component of a child’s learning environment. I believe literature is essential to a child’s intellectual, social and emotional development and that children deserve access to the highest quality literature available.
