Developmental Child Care Center
Developmental Child Care embraces a constructivist philosophy based upon the teachings of Jean Piaget. The aim is to develop autonomy. As an autonomous human being, a person is able to eventually decide for herself or himself what is true and what is false, what is right and what is wrong. This happens by taking multiple perspectives into account through interacting with the people and things in his or her world.
Exchanges of ideas and feelings with children and adults are vital to this process. Children are constantly making hypotheses about their experiences, testing them out and then reorganizing their theories based upon the errors they make and the predictions that don't bear fruit. During the day, teachers provoke occasions that cause children to think.
