The Guilford Center for Children provides year-round education for children of working parents from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We involve children in independent and collaborative tasks that help them reach their intellectual, creative, moral, and physical potential while working cooperatively with others. We nurture the curiosity and thirst for knowledge inherent in all young children. Our curriculum is designed to allow our students to gain confidence in their personal strength, an awareness of their individual gifts, and the desire to share their joy with others, both in and outside the classroom. We believe every child needs and deserves a safe, secure, and stimulating environment. We believe this desired environment begins with a positive, nurturing relationship between child and teacher. We believe that quality child care and early childhood development includes communicating and working with the family through education, support and parent involvement. Our curriculum is based on the whole child: his/her social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative development. We see each child as a unique individual and plan our programs according to the child’s strengths, needs, interests and developmental skills. We believe in fostering cultural awareness and pride through anti-bias curriculum and activities. We strive to keep our services available and affordable to all families. Our mission is to continue to create an enhanced, quality early and primary education program that emphasizes the arts and cultural experiences. We aim to encourage curiosity, promote kindness and respect, and foster interaction with and in support of our community.
