All Saints Children's Center

Welcome

All Saints Children's Center operates year-round and is open from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. Children from six weeks to five years are accepted in both full-time and part-time programs.

                    Our Philosophy                                 
All Saints Children’s Center, established in 1966, is a non-sectarian, non-profit child development center serving infant through pre-kindergarten children. We provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate program in a safe, loving environment where each child can develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. We value diversity and welcome all families without regard to race, religion, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

                Our Program Philosophy
We believe children grow best in a caring atmosphere with competent staff committed to providing love and discipline.  Our goal is to help in the development of children who are secure, confident and competent.  We provide an environment that is emotionally warm and nurturing, physically safe and cognitively challenging.  It is our desire to work as a team with parents to provide the best for their child.

We help our children discover a way of dealing with life that is realistic, comfortable and satisfying.  Self-confidence is nurtured as children learn to rely on themselves and each other. The noncompetitive environment is one that allows each child to develop and mature emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually at their own pace. Through planned activities children are challenged to explore ideas, solve problems, develop and expand language and concept skills.

To implement our philosophy, we give children choices.  They can experiment and explore with activities designed to meet their needs in all areas of development. 

               Our Curriculum
The curriculum is carefully planned by the teachers to offer choices designed to encourage physical skills, cognitive learning, problem-solving and independence.  Active physical play, conceptual learning, art, music, science, math concepts, literature and dramatic play are part of the daily program.

ASCC students are grouped by age and developmental readiness.  Each classroom is supervised by a Lead Teacher.  Curriculum varies according to age.  As children mature, they engage in increasingly more intricate and challenging activities.  The curriculum also varies from year to year, because no one group of children is like another.  This flexibility allows our teachers the opportunity to assess the nature of their group and design their lesson plans accordingly.
