Philosophy and Purpose

Our philosophy is designed to enhance a healthy life style while promoting self-confidence and security. Our environment encourages a positive outlook with a never ending desire to grow and achieve through fostering ambition and exploration. Peace and empathy are inspired within all daily happenings.  A feeling of respect and admiration surround each and every child.

Welcome to Precious Memories Place. We are a learning and development center designed to provide children with experiences that support growth socially, cognitively, emotionally and academically. We provide a warm, home-inspired atmosphere where the children can feel comfortable, secure, and encouraged.

We believe that the preschool day should reflect an interest in the whole child. Each child has physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs that must be enhanced. Personality traits develop during these stages and a healthy foundation promotes an enriched, well balanced journey through life.

An attentive program includes stability and regularity while allowing for flexibility. A familiar pattern enables the child to take part in routines more easily, and creates a sense of security. It is also necessary for the teacher to be in tune with the children’s needs and desires, and to be willing to adjust as the child’s needs change.

It is important at this developmental level that learning be based on actual experience and participation. At our center, we fulfill these goals and meet the expectations of our children and families. Through our constantly striving efforts to learn and grow, we not only aim to satisfy your child’s needs, but also enrich his or her life.

We hold special pride in the center’s professional staff. Selected for their knowledge of child development as well as their interpersonal skills, they are the strength of our program. When visiting Precious Memories Place, please take time to listen, to watch, and to learn from this unique group. They are chosen for their compassion, empathy and commitment to supplying a safe place for your children to flourish.

Consider us your “home away from home” and your “extended family.” Together we create a strong foundation for your children.
 

"Treating our kids like family"

Precious Memories Place is the premier daycare in our area because they treat our kids like family. It's a very comforting feeling when the owner of a large facility can take the time out of her day to explain the history of how they started and where they are going in the future. From the top down starting with owner, administration and all of the teachers, we couldn't be happier or more grateful for the care and love we get at Precious Memories Place.

"Precious Memories is an Extension of Our Family!"

We have been so fortunate to have such wonderful care for our children.  At every level--infant, toddler, pre-school and the new before and after partner program with Coogan Farm--our children have been happy, active, and safe...and more than ready for kindergarten!  They really know our kids: what they like, what sets them off, what will distract them for a smooth and quick drop off...and they know when I need a hand getting my screaming three-year-old son into his coat, or finding an extra owl sticker for the baby, or just a pause and a chat at the end of the day before heading down the hall to gather my energetic trio.  Balancing work and family is hard for us all, but Precious Memories has made it possible for me and my husband to do so with confidence, and we couldn't be more grateful.
