Philosophy and Methodology of Learning
The first five years of life is a tremendously critical period in time for a developing child. Throughout these formative years, a child's brain is at its most flexible, impressionable, and delicate stage. Daily life experiences during this time have a remarkable impact on the young mind; an impact that will directly shape the trajectory of their life, beyond the school-age years and well into adulthood. At Owl Always Daycare, our talented group of early childhood educators are wholeheartedly dedicated to their practice. They are ready to prepare young children to take the journey toward becoming lifelong learners. We will strive to create a healthy environment most conducive to learning and developing crucial skills. We vow to maintain a positive, nurturing, and safe space for each individual child to grow, thrive and soar to their highest level of potential.
Note: We incorporate RIELDS (Rhode Island Early Learning and Development Standard) into our Programs.
