At HYCCC, we take a unique approach to childcare. We draw from the schools of Reggio Emilia and the theories of Vygotsky and Piaget, creating an environment that is both warm and safe, as well as stimulating. We put play at the center of our approach, allowing children to learn new skills and internalize concepts. Our teachers set the stage for learning by providing a flexible, welcoming classroom that caters to the children’s interests. To ensure that our curriculum is developmentally appropriate, we use a combination of observation, reflection, and documentation. We also involve parents in our community, encouraging cooperation and respect among all members of our community.
