We believe that children are a gift from God. We believe that God created the family as a mirror of His love and that a family is the best way for children to grow in dignity, for parents to enjoy responsibility, and for every individual to discover a fuller life.

We believe that parents have the right to expect high-quality care for their children. Parents should feel comfortable leaving their children in our care. We believe that children benefit tremendously from an enriched environment and from interactions with other children and adults. We believe in providing an environment that is respectful, nurturing, caring and stimulating. We value each family's cultural heritage, language, traditions and styles. We believe that each child should have the opportunity to reach their potential, regardless of their gender, age, race or economic status.

We believe that play is an important avenue for learning and for enjoyment. Children learn through active involvement of all their senses in play. Skilled adults guide children's play and provide appropriate materials and activities and an unhurried time for creative exploration.
