| The mission of the Aquinas College Child Development Center and the Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center is to
continuously expand the potential of children, the experiences of educators and the involvement of parents within the
diverse community of Grand Rapids, Michigan. |
|
The vision is to base all of the decisions on the principles of Reggio Emilia incorporating current research on learning as
well as developmentally appropriate practice. |
|
| The Child Development Center strives to give children an opportunity to grow and develop in an environment which fosters
the image of the child as one who is rich, strong and powerful, curious and holds theories and ideas - all formed through
relationships with families, teachers, peers and the environment. Each child is unique, and the Aquinas College Child
Development Center is a place where parents will find the support they need in the education and care of their children. |
