OUR PHILOSOPHY
Young children learn by doing! They acquire knowledge of their world through playful interaction with objects and people. Children are motivated to learn by their own desire to make sense of their world.
OUR GOALS
Gretchen's House provides a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of young children and responds to the needs of families. Our parents and staff are partners, working together to meet the needs of the children and their families.
OUR CURRICULUM
Gretchen's House is a play-based program. Each day children are provided with time for free choices using a variety of materials and spaces. Some activities are teacher planned and guided, but each child chooses which activity, materials, or space he/she wishes to use. We strive to challenge and stimulate each child at his/her own developmental level and foster a positive self-image by accepting each child as an individual.
