PHILOSOPHY
At YCNS, we practice Developmental Education. This style of learning fosters our students' cognitive development in an interesting, meaningful, and fulfilling way. Children are permitted to learn at their own pace through age-appropriate experiences, and to make sense of their world through play.
Our teachers' role in the classroom is to observe and respect each child's play and to build that into a curriculum. Teachers provide new opportunities and materials that allow our students to expand their ideas. Ultimately, the focus is on bolstering each child's academic and socialization skills, in whichever way the child learns best.
When it's all said and done, the staff at YCNS is dedicated to the well-being of our students. We work hard to create a warm, enriching and safe environment where children are challenged and encouraged to learn and grow. For over 75 years, we've maintained these ideals and principals, and we are committed to continuing our legacy of graduating happy children who are prepared for their future.
