Philosophy
We believe in three things that make our center successful:
- HAPPINESS is success.
- We respect the gift of life with good HEALTH habits.
- Our purpose is to serve OTHERS.
Happiness is our measure of success. Only when children are happy, can they be good to themselves and to others. We teach self-love, forgiveness, compassion, channeling energy, health, play, freedom, respect, self-discovery, gratitude, kindness, confidence, and fun to influence emotional, social, and intellectual development. Happiness empowers children to achieve their fullest potential!
When children are happy, they thrive beyond what we expect. Energy is contagious and we excel in maintaining good vibes for children to soar and feel a sense of belonging.
LIFE OF A TINY VIOLET
We facilitate our philosophy and core values to instill independence, cooperation, respect and an overall healthy lifestyle daily. Our goal is to teach life tools for our littles to be happy. We use positive guidance and always provide a nurturing, safe, and peaceful environment. We encourage and cultivate positive child, staff, and family relationships. We ensure that we create and uphold a socially and emotionally respectful early learning and care environment. We achieve this by listening, showing respect, and creating classrooms that promote independence and engagement.
Positive Guidance
We train our teachers and staff to give children respect, set realistic expectations, observe children to understand behavioral changes, and model positive communication and social interactions. Our staff will always use positive reinforcement. If there is need for more support regarding social and emotional intervention, then staff will ensure to observe the child to gain knowledge of their individual needs, and then work with management and the child’s family to ensure an appropriate support plan is made. We will all partner together to reduce challenging behaviors.
Parent and Staff Conferences
We will provide exchanges daily on your child’s behavior, progress, social and physical needs via a daily report using Brightwheel. In addition, we hold parent teacher conferences twice a year. Once in the fall and again in the spring.

Environment
Our bodies enable us the gift to experience the world and we strive to minimize illness and negative energy with the following policies:
Shoe-free
Shoes are contaminated from many diverse sources and not only contain bacteria and germs. To minimize illness for children who are crawling on the floor, in the infant classrooms staff may use booties or classroom only shoes to follow procedures set by the Division of Early Care and Learning. In addition, children under 18 months old that wear shoes will be required to have separate shoes for indoor use to remain compliant and will be barefoot for yogic play activities.
Candy-free
Fruit is nature’s candy and good for our bodies. Children will not partake in candy under our care. We seek alternative and healthy ways to treat them. However, we do believe in pure chocolate!

Our center uses the Brightwheel Childcare Software Program. It allows us to keep families up to date in real time with messaging features, an activity feed for each child: that shows photos of them, learning milestones, naps and snacks and a variety of other things that you may want to be informed of throughout the day. It also makes payments and other administrative tasks simple and automated for everyone. We are always here to talk about your child’s progress and help meet any goals you may have for them. We use the Experience Curriculum through Brightwheel. There are fun monthly themes and the app will show families the daily lessons which will indicate the area of learning the activity pertains to.
