The means and materials with which children interact at TGCP are developmentally appropriate and geared to the individual ability and interests of each child.  Such learning experiences promote success for all children.  State and National Early Learning and Development Standards serve as a basis for our age-appropriate content and goals for young children which include: 

• Building healthy positive self concepts and creativity

• Providing opportunities to enhance social and emotional skills

• Encouraging children to think, reason, question and experiment

• Promoting language and literacy development

• Advocating and demonstrating sound health, safety and nutritional habits

• Providing opportunities for physical development
