Philosophy

The Chaparral Family Development Center’s philosophy centers around recognizing children’s predictable growth stages, fostering their individuality and cultural heritage, and providing a stimulating and respectful environment to enhance their potential for learning. In addition, the center’s holistic approach emphasizes play-based learning, bilingualism, exploration, creativity, and language acquisition to cultivate a solid foundation for lifelong learning. Play is seen as essential for children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development, while bilingualism promotes language diversity and cross-cultural understanding, preparing children for a multicultural society.
