Good-Honey Bears Child Development Center 3, Garner

As early childhood educators, it is our responsibility to help them develop to their full potential. We must strive to instill a sense of self-confidence and a feeling of accomplishment in all children so they may grow to become productive members of society. We will furnish all children with a safe and stable learning environment where we will promote growth in social, emotional, and physical development. By following a structured curriculum, we will provide an environment that promotes the development of the whole child on his own level while intensifying instruction in areas of academic deficits. This prevents boredom which can lead to behavior problems. We believe in positive reinforcement: meaning that by supporting the positive behavior, we may be able to eliminate the negative behavior. We have found that telling children what they can do and praising them for doing it makes them less likely to exhibit unwanted behavior. Our teaching staff will help develop creativity and self-esteem. Without these qualities, children often become withdrawn and unsure of themselves. We know that children learn from concrete to abstract; therefore, we will provide activities that teach from concrete experiences to abstract thinking. By providing our children with the best early childhood educational experience, we are not only assisting parents today, but we are building a foundation for many years of learning.
