THE CENTER’S HISTORY
Established in 2006 to provide quality care for the children in the local area. It now caters to families from all around Delhi and its suburbs. Established as a program geared to provide high quality care to the children it served, the center believed that quality would be attained by attention to the following: providing age-appropriate activities that stimulate both exploration and discovery; viewing play and socialization as essential to young children; celebrating each child’s unique needs and capabilities; providing a well-balanced mix of large and small group activities, indoor and outdoor activities, and restful and active play times and also building strong connections and partnerships with the families we serve. These beliefs still guide the center as we continue to provide high quality care for our children. Included in the vision of high quality was the commitment to recruiting and maintaining a staff whose knowledge base was firmly planted in sound early childhood practice.
