Welcome to Mountain Top Kids Early Learning Center. It all started with babysitting friends’ children and through the encouragement of family and friends, I decided to open a daycare center so that other people can benefit from the love and care that Mountain Top Kids staff has for the children.
Learning centers are designed by teachers to provide an enriching environment. Within this learning environment, children are introduced to pre-reading, math, science, and literacy concepts through active exploration.
Mission and Vision
The vision of Mountain Top Kids Early Learning Center is to provide an environment that is a home away from home, a place where parents feel safe to drop off their children in the morning and happy to pick them up in the evening. At Mountain Top Kids Early Learning Center, children will develop emotionally, spiritually, physically and cognitively at their own level. Mountain Top Kids Early Learning Center provides high quality care, education and support for children and families of diverse cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our committed staff is supported with training, resources and freedom to create a unique learning experience for the children. Children are enabled to express their individuality and explore their environment, while developing the skills for cooperative interactions. We strive that every child will be confident, eager to learn and be ready for kindergarten.
The parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life; we value a home to school partnership and recognize the support of parents as the child’s main teacher. Parents are part of the decision making that will benefit their children. Our goal is to create a family environment for staff, parents and the children.
Philosophy
We provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, spiritual, self-esteem and cognitive development of your child.
The philosophy of Mountain Top Kids is based on the following:
*Each child is a unique individual. We are sensitive to their social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical needs. We provide developmentally appropriate programs that focus on the process of learning and help the children enjoy successful experiences. We encourage not just learning, but the love of learning.
*To provide a physical environment that is safe, clean, healthy, and oriented to children.Classrooms are arranged to offer challenging play and learning choices at a range of developmental levels. Activity (learning) centers allow children the opportunity to explore, to experience, and most importantly -to succeed.
*The strength of our program lies in the dedication of our teaching staff. We support our teachers with training, resources, and freedom to create a unique learning experience for children. We provide many opportunities for teachers to share ideas and grow professionally. Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere and foster each child’s creativity and positive self-image.
*To establish consistent, age-appropriate limits to help children function in their world. Our programs are designed to develop in children a sense of independence and responsibility. We desire to strengthen each child’s own cultural identity, while instilling a respect for others who might be different.
*That parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life. We strive to create mutual respect between parents and teachers; a partnership for the benefit of the child. We encourage daily communication between parents and center staff. Our doors are open to parents at all times.
At Mountain Top Kids we value people; the children in our care, their parents, and our staff. We continually work to earn the trust placed in us. We strive each day to be the best provider of early childhood educational services in the community we serve.
Mountain Top Kids is open to all children regardless of race, creed, or national origin, who may benefit from our type of program.
