At The Children's Courtyard, we provide child care that adheres to the High/Scope philosophy, based on the groundbreaking work of developmental psychologist Jean Piaget.
Like Piaget, we believe that children learn best by doing through hands-on experiences with people, materials, events and ideas.
Our staff and our curriculum have demonstrated that they are consistent with established best practices in the social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive development of children.
The Children's Courtyard inspires inquisitiveness and love of learning in every child through individualized care and active learning opportunities. All in a safe, warm and inviting environment.
