Shining Stars Care and Education Center

Children learn best when they are given the appropriate responsibility, allowed to make errors, decisions and choices, and respected as autonomous learners. Research shows imagination, creativity and all symbolic behavior (reading, writing, drawing, dancing, music, mathematical numbers, algebra, role play and talking) develop and emerge when conditions are favorable. At Shining Stars, we foster those favorable conditions through play, the outdoors and the Creative Curriculum. The Creative Curriculum creates a high-quality learning environment that enables every child to become a creative, confident thinker. Each classroom generates comprehensive portfolios for every child throughout their time at Shining Stars. Teachers observe the children's interests and developmental needs to formulate lesson plans and to set goals for the children.
