BROAD OBJECTIVES
St. Timothy’s Child Development Center is concerned with the positive development of children.
The program will:
- provide effective classroom and outdoor experiences fostering the growth and development of the child;
- Provide opportunities for exploration and problem solving;
- allow adequate opportunities for children to express themselves freely through many media;
- maintain conditions appropriate for each individual’s growth and development;
- provide many opportunities for social growth and development;
- provide development from the immediate environment of the children; and
- utilize the experiences of the children.
In general, the program will provide, under trained supervision, a happy, healthful atmosphere in which to stimulate the child’s intellectual, social and physical growth, through rich and varied experiences.
