Our Philosophy

Our Wallingford Daycare's Winning Early Childhood Education Approach

By treating children as competent researchers, educators can provide more complex, open-ended problems and projects that stretch children's thinking and problem-solving skills. This challenges children to think critically, develop hypotheses, test ideas, and draw conclusions - all essential skills for lifelong learning.

At our daycare in Wallingford, CT, we embrace this philosophy, encouraging educators to listen to and value children's ideas and theories. This creates a more participatory and engaging learning environment. When we see children as competent and capable, we set high expectations for their growth, often inspiring them to rise to the challenge and become more independent, self-directed learners.

Infants - Pre-K

Your child will discover real-world applications for their lessons in our innovative programs. We cultivate an adaptable learning environment that nurtures inquisitiveness, promotes experiential education, emphasizes group collaboration, and hones analytical capabilities.

High-quality programs often maintain lower ratios to ensure more individual attention and better supervision. When choosing a program, consider not just the ratio but also the group size, as smaller groups generally allow for more individualized attention and can be easier for teachers to manage effectively.

What Age Is Appropriate for Starting Early Childhood Education?

A high-quality early childhood education program in Wallingford can have significant benefits for a child's development and future academic success at any age.

Early childhood education can begin as early as infancy, and the most common age to start is around 2-3 years old. The appropriate age can vary depending on the child's development and family circumstances.

Some children benefit from earlier socialization and structured learning environments, while others may do well starting a bit later. It's important to consider your child's individual needs, temperament, and readiness when deciding on the right time to enroll in our Wallingford daycare.
