The LRS philosophy of education is based
on assumptions about growth and development that come from investigations in
the fields of psychology and education. The basic tenets of our philosophy
are that:
- each child is a unique individual and will develop best if that uniqueness is respected, and that each child has his own "style" of learning .
- teachers must provide the children with experiences which will develop their intellectual ability --- teachers are people who challenge learners--this statement reflects our conviction that teaching has taken place only when learning has taken place.
- play is an important
medium through which learning takes place, and is an essential part in
any early development curriculum.
Infants & Toddlers
LRS has a program designed to meet the needs of
children ages 6 weeks through 30 months. We provide interaction and
stimulation for a growing toddler's needs by
supervising
activities such as crawling, walking, toilet training, talking and certain
aspects of social development. More
