What they do

WE ARE A COMMUNITY-BASED PRESCHOOL SERVING CHILDREN FROM AGES 1 to 5 YEARS OLD. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO PROVIDE SCHOOL AGE CARE for CHILDREN AGES 5-12 DURING SCHOOL BREAKS and SUMMER. AT NORTH TAMPA, WE FOLLOW THE CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH, WITH CHILDREN and EDUCATORS "CO-CONSTRUCTING" THEIR OWN LEARNING AS THEY BRING THEIR UNIQUE LIFE EXPERIENCES to THE CLASSROOM. FROM THE DESIGN of OUR INDOOR and OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS to THE INTERACTIONS and EXPERIENCES THAT TAKE PLACE ON OUR CAMPUS, EVERYTHING WE DO is INTENTIONAL, REFLECTING OUR BELIEFS ABOUT THE WAYS IN WHICH CHILDREN BEST LEARN and HONORING THE CHILD AS A UNIQUELY CREATED INDIVIDUAL. WE ARE GRATEFUL to COLLABORATE WITH YOU IN THIS GREAT EXPLORATION WE CALL EARLY CHILDHOOD. MUCH LIKE THE VARIED PATTERNS of CHILDRENS GROWTH IN THE EARLY YEARS, OUR APPROACH is FLUID, CONSTANTLY BEING MODIFIED BASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS of OUR STUDENTS, THE WORLD AROUND US and BEST PRACTICE. WE BELIEVE GOD CREATED US AS INDIVIDUALS. AS SUCH, ONE SIZE DOES NO
