Mary Meta Lazarus Child Development Center
  Our Beliefs
   
 
Sand Box
The Center’s environment is designed to reflect our belief that children deserve to be surrounded by natural beauty, comfort and meaningful relationships and that childhood is truly a time to be treasured. We believe family members are the most significant people in children’s lives, and we strive to respect and support the diverse values of the families enrolled for the benefit of each child. In our Center, children see their teachers and families as true partners.

Math Toy

The staff views education as not only a process of acquiring skills, but also as a means of finding a direction for future educational endeavors. We believe when children have the opportunity to use their natural sense of wonder to investigate their world, they become empowered and as a result become enthusiastic about their school experience at an early age. Given ample opportunities to make novel connections, explore materials and interact with people with a variety of perspectives, children develop the disposition necessary to become life-long learners. We want children to grow to be strong, healthy and confident, to be caring and responsive toward others and to be curious, creative and resourceful.
