Philosophy
Early childhood education begins with a school climate of unconditional love, warmth, acceptance and understanding that each child is a unique individual and is born with potential.
It is our belief at Grace International Learning Center (GILC) that self-esteem is the foundation upon which all learning rest.
Young children develop naturally when they believe in themselves, their abilities and their worth.
It happens in an environment where they are allowed to make choices, decisions and sometimes mistakes.
Learning always involves feelings. Young children must be allowed to freely express their emotions in a safe and validating environment if they are to learn and grow emotionally as well as develop a healthy sense of self.
If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes and learn to trust and share their feelings. If taken seriously, they will develop the ability to respect others. If their emotional needs are met, they will have the ability to develop empathy.
This philosophy is the basis for all the curriculum at GILC and is the cornerstone for how we interact with your child.
