Our Philosophy
The staff and administration at CV NfL know that young children thrive in safe, friendly and respectful environments. These elements are foundational and at the core of our program’s philosophy; a philosophy that fosters a child-centered curriculum and is based on the guiding principles of the California Preschool Curriculum Framework.
The multi-age opportunity, along with parent participation, promotes empathy, self-regulation and leadership development. We offer care and curriculum that is age appropriate for children’s developmental needs in a rich setting allowing for exploration, creativity, problem-solving, science, math, and language acquisition through play, group activities and individual choice.
