Environment
The physical environment at the Children's Center is a reflection of the philosophy. The center believes in promoting children's interests and allowing for individual, small, and large group play. Opportunities are provided for children to explore the rich diversity of the community. Materials are easily accessible on open shelves, which invite creativity, independence, and choice. An aesthetically pleasing and safe environment both indoors and out promotes social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth.

I tried to teach my child with books,
He gave me only puzzled looks.
I tried to teach my child with words,
They passed him by, often unheard.
Despairingly I turned aside,
How shall I teach this child, I cried.
Into my hands he put the key,
"Come," he said "Play with me!"Anonymous Author
