Goals for Our Children & Families WE BELIEVE .... that children have a right to a loving relationship with trained caregivers; to be offered the best possible environmental conditions and materials with which to explore and experiment; to see their culture and language valued; and to have their primary caregivers working in harmony with each other. In keeping with our beliefs, our goals are: *To provide a warm, safe, healthy and developmentally appropriate learning environment. *To promote a feeling of personal well being and independence. *To develop positive social interactions and communication skills with peers and adults. *To encourage an awareness and acceptance of the differences in people and cultures. *To develop and foster positive and productive safety and health habits. *To work in partnership with each child's family. Chautauqua Lake Child Care Center (CLCCC) is a not-for-profit, community-based childcare program functioning to enhance the development of the whole child in a safe, healthy and positive learning environment.
