Our Philosophy

The educational philosophy at Shaw Avenue Children's Center is demonstrated by the following:

We include a diverse group of families and staff.
Our smaller overall enrollment size and our small child to teacher ratios are comfortable for very young children.
Our encouraging learning environment is formed by our knowledge of individual child development, as opposed to a school model based on age requirements.
We promote the growth of children's emotional security and confidence as a foundation for their mental and physical growth.
Teams of teachers model the decision-making and cooperation that we expect children to learn.
The practice of our Peace Table process confirms that young children have the ability to reach mutually agreeable solutions.
