Our Mission and Philosophy
Mission Statement
The Monadnock Community Early Learning Center is an Early Learning Center and childcare program seeking to enroll students from six weeks old to fourth grade. MCELC promotes a shared partnership with parents, the community, businesses, and local agencies to become active partners in the lives of the children in our care. MCELC welcomes a diverse student body from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds with a wide variety of academic abilities and potential. MCELC considers the education of a child the combined responsibility of the Center, the parents, the children, and the community.
Philosophy
It is a privilege to be part of a child's life! We strive to provide an environment in which children can experience the excitement, the wonder, and the joy of growing up. Our teachers provide developmentally appropriate experiences that focus on the whole child: physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. Opportunities for growth are provided through the use of developmentally appropriate activities and materials. Hands-on experiences that are concrete, real world, and sensory in nature, are provided daily.
The main objective of MCELC is to provide a safe and stimulating environment that will help children develop within themselves the foundation of positive habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas that are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.
