Sugar Grove Developmental Day School, Sugar Grove

Sugar Grove Developmental Day School works to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate program for the children in our care. The staff encourages children to solve problems, ask questions, find answers, explore interesting materials, and develop curiosity. Our center provides a play oriented curriculum based on a philosophy where respect for the child, positive guidance and the development of self-esteem are important values. The environment is arranged to be child-centered and to allow opportunities for children to choose among a variety of activities. Parents are a child's most important teachers. Therefore, we work closely with parents and encourage them to participate in many aspects of our programs, including; holidays, birthdays, pot lucks, parent teacher conferences, fundraising events and workshops. For the community, our goal is to actively participate in issues, which enhance support for children and families. This involvement shall be on a national, state and local level. We work to create an environment that encourages and stimulates on-going professional growth and training for all our staff. We strive to provide a superior environment for child development students who participate in our school by modeling appropriate teaching and discipline strategies. Students assume an active role in the center and take on increased responsibility as they acquire appropriate skills and experience.
