To help children establish satisfying and successful social relationships with their peers and with adults.
To help each child express individuality through a variety of media and activities.
To encourage children's inquiring minds to search and probe for more information and to provide experiences to develop problem-solving skills.
To help children achieve and enjoy success as they learn.
To help children learn to be responsible for their actions and possessions and to develop the ability to work independently and cooperatively.
