Milestone Child Development Center, Chesapeake

At Milestones Child Development Center, we emphasize the development of the total child. We encourage the process of learning and discovery rather than the product. Each child’s physical needs and safety are given primary attention. Our health and nutritional programs stress the physical well-being of the child and are of the highest quality. Social needs, including getting along with peers, relationships with caring adults and adjustments to being away from parents, are essential to our program. We value each child and treat them with love, respect and courtesy. Trust, support, encouragement and success help minimize fear of failure and maximize a positive self-image. Our approach to learning is developmental. We believe that “play is a child’s work” and that through play, children acquire the foundations for reading, writing, and logical thinking. Learning through play is the preparation children need before they can understand how to use abstract symbols such as letters and numbers.
