Teaching Philosophy & Mission Statement:

The goal of NCLC, as a Judy Center partner, is to strengthen and empower families to lead productive, self-sufficient lives and to raise healthy, well rounded children who enter school with the readiness skills needed to succeed in school.

To meet these goals, we organize our center in the following ways:
GED Teaching to provide a healthy, secure and nurturing environment where the children are valued and develop trust, the foundation of all learning.

Tweenie Teaching to build on newly discovered independence through a variety of fine and gross motor activities. Through interactions with peers and role modeling from adults, we support the children’s social, emotional, and language development.

Toddler Teaching to support children learning about their world through exploratory play with learning centers supporting the seven domains of learning. We encourage expanding self help and language skills needed to promote independence.

Pre-K Teaching to encourage and support the growth of the whole child using a holistic approach. Through scientific and mathematical exploration, problem solving and structured play, with a print rich environment, children can reach their fullest potential academically, socially and emotionally and enter school with the readiness skills to have a successful and positive school experience.

We provides learning opportunities in the natural environment for families and children. We build relationships and set goals to enhance and support the growth of the family.
