  • Leading the Way a PHILOSOPHY - in PROGRESS
    1 “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” —Plato 2 Leading the Way A PHILOSOPHY - IN PROGRESS [ INTRODUCTION \ he doors of our first school opened in 1968 because of the desire to experience firsthand Tthe marvelous thrills and excitement in the world of children. When we began, we had no idea of how our programs would evolve. Our intention was to meet the growing needs of families by integrating daycare and preschool into one program, something that seemed a bit radical back then. Today, with 10 locations and 19 programs, we are the only organization in Northern California providing private education and daycare for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Of interest to us as founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children. It has always been exciting for John and I to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children’s development. We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life. It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Through the years, we have faced many challenges. In the beginning, just getting the first school ready to open was quite an endeavor. Inspired by our vision of creating a unique and nurturing place for learning, we rolled up our sleeves and did whatever we could ourselves, disregarding the fact that we had no prior experience in many of the tasks we were about to undertake.
