Our Teaching Philosophy at Emilie Christian Day School
All classes at Emilie Christian Day School receive instruction and opportunity for:
Young children learn by doing.
The complex process of learning begins at birth and results from the interaction of a child’s own thinking and experiences. Maturity and emotional development are important contributing factors in learning because they provide a valuable framework which precedes learning.
Children learn by:
Hearing
Seeing
Moving
and touching
With a foundation of security, love and encouragement, children will explore and learn to understand the exciting world around them.
Knowledge is not given to children. They acquire information about their physical and social world through playful interaction with other children, adults and objects. They are motivated by a natural desire to explore and make sense of the world around them.
Each child is unique. A quality early childhood program recognizes the individual needs of children while providing an environment full of stimulating, as well as challenging materials and activities for all children. Our master teachers and skilled staff closely observe the children in how and what they understand and construct additional experiences and challenges to expand the child’s thinking even further.
Active Play and Learn Sessions
Learning information in meaningful context is not only essential for a child’s understanding and the development of concepts, but is also critically important for stimulating self-motivation in children.
Children learn best when they use their whole bodies and are active in the lesson.
Learning about positional words, “inside” and “outside”
Making clocks and taking the position of a number on the clock to learn about telling time!
Learning about “M” words and making “moustaches” to wear above their “mouths”
Developmentally Appropriate Early Childhood Programs
Young children need basic understanding and skills to make their experiences more meaningful. Through play with various, diversified and similar items, children are able to classify, sort, count and so on.
Children learn language through daily, fun experiences, through the five senses, and through listening and talking to other children and adults. Staff can help children learn language by speaking to them continually about whatever they are experiencing at the time and by telling them the words they need to understand their experiences.
The teachers and staff at Emilie Christian Day School would love to welcome you and your child into our learning community.

Testimonials
When we began researching a daycare/school to enroll our daughter, my husband and I wanted a program that would offer an exceptional head start to her educational future as well as an environment of love and laughter; we found just that a Emilie Christian Day School!
My daughter was enrolled in the young toddler program last year, attended the summer program and is currently enrolled in the 2 year old, full day toddler class in the Sunshine Room and we couldn’t be more pleased. If there are questions that need to be answered, the teachers are there to answer them. IF there are any nerves that need to be quelled, either student or for parent…the teachers are there!
If you are looking for a place where your child will grow both academically, emotionally and in a supportive, loving environment, then look no further than Emilie Christian Day School.”
