Child Care Philosophy

At NICCS, every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only in abilities but also in learning styles. Our role as Educators is to give children the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge. We at NICCS will teach to the needs of each child so that all learners can feel capable and successful. We familiarize children with not only our community but also with the world, to naturalize all cultures, and to ultimately help children become caring and active members of society.

​

At NICCS, we present curriculum that involves the interests of the children and makes learning relevant to life. We incorporate social, emotional, physical, language, intellectual and cognitive learning into daily routines with projects, group play, individual play, and hands-on learning in order to lead children into active learners. We ensure this through documenting children’s interests, planning emergent curriculums and having educators act as role models to children.
