Philosophy

Picture
The program is based on a developmental curriculum with an emphasis on age-appropriate activities.  The activities are designed to enhance the social, emotional, and physical growth of the children.

Young children learn by doing.  The complex process of learning begins at birth and results from the interaction of a child’s own thinking and experiences.  Maturity and emotional development are important contributing factors in learning.  These provide an invaluable framework that is preceeded by learning.

Children learn by hearing, seeing, moving and touching.  With a foundation of security, love and encouragement, children explore and learn to understand the exciting world around them.

Knowledge is not given to children.  They acquire information about their physical and social world through playful interaction with other children, adults and objects.  They are motivated by a natural desire to explore and make sense of the world around them.

Each child is unique.  Tabor Children's House recognizes the individual needs of children while providing an environment full of stimulating as well as challenging materials and activities for all children.  Skilled staff closely observe the children to see how much and what they understand and then construct additional experiences and challenges to expand the children’s thinking.
