Knowledge is not something that is given to children as though they were empty vessels to be filled.  Children acquire knowledge about the physical and social worlds in which they live through PLAYFUL INTERACTION with objects and people.  Children do not need to be forced to learn; they are motivated by their own desire to make sense of their world.

At Quality Time Learning Center our program for children is based on a set of beliefs about the nature of young children and preschool learning.
We believe that:

• Learning and childcare provide a natural enhancement for one another, and that both need to occur in a warm, nurturing, interesting and stimulating child environment.
• Learning and childcare need to be informal and developmental in nature emphasizing activities which allow each child to attain the basic skills necessary for learning in later more formal learning programs, as well as provide opportunities for individual creative, imaginative expression.
• Learning and childcare should be fun-filled and loaded with developmentally appropriate kid-appeal underscoring the idea that learning is fun.
• By involving parents in the center's activities, parents and staff form an essential partnership in the preschool learning process.
