Our Learning Philosophy
The team of teachers at Emanuel’s Child Development Center are constantly looking for new ways to help your child develop a love for learning. We create learning stations to help your child learn their letters, name recognition, colors, shapes and more. We believe strongly in the power of free play as well, where your child learns social interaction and can use their active imagination with other members of the class. Incorporating prayer at all meals, celebrating Christian holidays and teaching your child basic morals, will help them grow spiritually as well. Our classrooms focus on new themes each week and that theme is incorporated in all the lessons using the Montessori philosophy and curriculum.
