Philosophy & Staff
Our OSC programs are play-based and child-focused in nature. Our staff view children as capable individuals with their own ideas, cultural beliefs, interests and abilities and strive to provide a safe environment physically, intellectually, mentally and emotionally. The FGCA believes that children grow, play and learn, as well as explore and construct knowledge about the world around them through peer and play based experiences. While recognizing family diversity and structure, our program encourages the development of positive relationships as well as respectful communication between children, staff and families.
