Because Kid Town USA believes that the children we serve will be happier if mutual respect exists between parents and teachers,
we will:
Establish open, honest communication;
Create a safe, secure environment;
Guide each child to explore through age appropriate activities;
Provide toys that stimulate learning;
Provide opportunities for the development of physical skills.
Because Kid Town USA believes that even during childhood we exist in the context of a larger society,
we will;
Teach respect for the rights of others;
Model and encourage social behavior;
Teach positive solutions to
conflicts with others;
Encourage self-discipline within the child.
Because Kid Town USA believes that literacy is of paramount importance,
we will:
Value children's verbal expressions;
Converse with the children, one-on-one;
Encourage children to "read" picture books and respect children's "writings".
