Mission
Statement
Ivy Cottage Children’s Center is a program that fully develops
all areas of a child’s development. We have a carefully
developed language arts program that provides basic experiences
that can help make future reading both successful and pleasurable.
Reading is a key skill in elementary school but no more so than
the child possessing a positive view of his/her own competence,
a positive attitude toward reading, and a body of general knowledge.
Preschoolers need a wealth of important exploration and discovery
activities based on their choice and agenda.
We will explore and celebrate that we are part of a diverse society.
We are different from each other and will discuss our uniqueness
as well as our similarities. We will collaborate with parents,
and extended families to reinforce the unique contributions they
make in your child’s life.
We will provide an environment in which experiences are offered
that will enhance their cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual
and physical development at their level of achievement capabilities.
Our curriculum is designed to provide both individual and group
learning experiences. Children will initiate activities to allow
for their individual development and developing social skills.
They will choose from a wide variety of academic programs including
beginning reading and writing, beginning mathematics, music, art,
and science, gross and fine motor physical activities.
We will celebrate all and any holidays celebrated by the children’s
families. Please feel free to share foods and stories with us.
