Our Philosophy
INCLUSIVITY is at the heart of what we do.
We are an INCLUSIVE environment dedicated to providing therapy and education to typical and neurodiverse children. Owned and operated by a registered and licensed Occupational Therapist and Licensed Elementary School Teacher and Preschool Owner. Our center is geared toward ensuring all children exceed their developmental milestones.
OUR PROCESS
Little Milestones for Small Discoveries adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood and family education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. We hope to equip our children with the skills they need so that they are fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.
OUR APPROACH
Our teaching and therapeutic approaches have many access points that enable us to cater to a wide range of learners. These philosophies promote self-directed, experimental learning in a relationship-driven environment.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy on education places the parents, teachers, and adults in any child’s life as co-researchers in the young person’s quest for knowledge. The foundation of our program is built on this philosophy of active, child-led, adult-supported learning. We create an environment built for daily exploration and discovery, which are the building blocks for developing self-esteem and problem solving skills.
