Mission

  • Eagle Mountain-º£½ÇÖ±²¥ ISD Child Care is a unique center that combines High Quality child development programming with a nurturing and warm environment for young children.
     
    Child development practice states that a child needs a place where he or she receives individual attention, is encouraged to be creative and expressive, is led to new discoveries about the world, and can enjoy quiet nurturing moments. The EMS Child Care provides all of this and more.
     
    The program's mission is to provide child care for the employees of Eagle Mountain-º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Independent School District as a way to recruit and retain high quality employees and to assist students with young children as they complete their education.

Philosophy

  • Each child is a unique individual with needs, interests and potential that must be respected and nurtured by attentive, caring and knowledgeable teachers.
     
    Because self-worth is the foundation for all other learning, teachers provide age-appropriate activities that challenge and encourage successful outcomes.
     
    Children need reassurance, encouragement and loving care by a positive and responsible adult who provides guidance in problem solving, decision-making and adaptation to new situations.
