Our Daycare

At EagleKids, kids learn by playing.

We are committed to providing an educational program that is challenging, creative, nurturing and child-centered. By offering an inviting, stimulating environment and developmentally appropriate programs we see that each child's social, emotional, and cognitive growth is encouraged and valued. We believe learning should be a joyful experience.

Our philosophy is based in our belief that children are competent individuals who can construct their own meaning of their experiences. The teacher's role is not to provide all the correct answers. Rather, the teacher provides the setting for discovery and learning.

Our approach is hands-on and multi-sensory. We recognize that children have a natural curiosity and a predisposition to enjoy the unexpected. Children engage in active exploration and investigation to make sense of their world. We strive to fuel children's investigative impulses by encouraging discovery, promoting questioning and challenging of ideas, and formulating connections of experience.

We respect children's multiple ways of demonstrating their intelligence. Children are encouraged to develop their individual strengths and each child's unique contribution to their community is appreciated. Their strengths are celebrated and valued while opportunities are created to provide exposure to, and enhancement of, other talents and skills. Children will be given the opportunity to express themselves through music, painting, drama, math, sciences, vegetables garden, song, movement, and play.

The Eagle Kids program draws from several models of child development including Montessori model to create an inclusive, child-led, emergent program steeped in the belief that children are strong, capable, creative thinkers who can explore their ideas in a myriad of ways.
