Swift Child Care and Kindergarten

We aspire to establish a partnership with all families in order to support the individual growth and development of each child, and to create a solid foundation on which the child may build both academically and socially. The curriculum is based on the philosophy that young children learn through active exploration in an environment which is rich in materials and opportunities to play, socialize, converse, work, and negotiate with others. The classrooms are planned to encourage curiosity, exploration, and problem solving in an atmosphere of warmth, affection and respect for each child. Teachers plan experiences based on children's interests and appropriate educational concepts. Children may work individually or collaboratively, and may choose whether or not to participate in a project. Children are actively involved in experiences which include foundations of math, science, social studies, creative art, language arts, music, movement, and dramatic play. All interrelated aspects of the child's growth and development are considered - intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative.
