CHILDCARE
The
Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education is based
on the experience and knowledge gained in the Reggio Emilia Municipal
Infant/Toddler and Preschool Centers in Italy over more than forty years.
Learning is viewed as a journey, and education as building relationships
with people (both children and adults), creating connections between
ideas and the environment. Through this approach, adults help children
understand the meaning of their experience more completely through documentation
of the children’s
work, observations, and continuous teacher-child dialogue. The Reggio
approach guides children’s ideas with provocations—not predetermined
curricula. There is collaboration on many levels: parent
participation, teacher discussions, and community. Our highly qualified
staff provide a Reggio Emelia approach to learning through their delight
in children, an understanding of the value of play, their vision, heart,
knowledge, skills, and a strong commitment to families.

Camp
Alexandra grew out of a need for a summer camp for orphans. The
camping tradition continues today with camps for supported adults
(mental health and developmental disabilities), families living
on low incomes and teen and young mothers.
