At ChildScape we focus on the whole child and the whole family to build a community network that is second to none. Our dedication extends to our families, employees, and our neighboring community with the goal to instill a love for lifelong learning with a hands on approach that makes play an integral part of the learning process.During play a child extends himself beyond his usual operational level of development. The child constructs learning, and as they mature, a progressive and structuring of cognitive process takes place. Play is the primary mode by which young children acquire learning through a variety of media. It fosters the development of self-regulation, focused attention and deliberate memory.With a teacher/child collaboration put into joint investigation, the world around them transforms into opportunities to ask and answer thought provoking questions, investigative possibilities; foster problem solving skills and practice mid-level mental abilities, which is the foundation for later academic success.We work diligently to achieve a non-biased, developmentally appropriate curriculum that will support an enriched, conducive environment for learning. Our philosophy is to realize a child's zone of potential development by teaching in a way that intrigues children and gives them a spirit of engagement and enthusiasm for learning.
