At NV Hope Grows Child Development Center, our educational philosophy is rooted in the standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We offer a play-based, emergent curriculum that is constructivist and developmentally appropriate, aiming to nurture the intellectual and character development of every child. Literacy is a cornerstone of our program, engaging children in symbolic communication through activities like looking at picture books, matching pictures to print, and storytelling in "print-rich" environments. We are committed to anti-bias education, recognizing the unique contributions of each individual to our diverse community. Our inclusive curriculum welcomes children with developmental differences, families of all configurations, and people of various races and belief systems. While learning is individualized, we emphasize group dynamics, respect for others, and understanding different perspectives. We proactively provide diverse cultural experiences and invite families to share their traditions, recognizing significant holidays in a non-religious context. At NV Hope Grows, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing learning environment that supports every child's growth, development, and appreciation of the diverse world around them.
