Philosophy

Lansing, as a non-profit co-operative, is unique in its belief that teachers, parents and children benefit from coming together as a community. Our goal is to provide age and developmentally appropriate activities that will foster self-confidence, positive self-image and self-discovery. Lansing provides a rich an varied program of guided play, knowing that in their play children develop the skills they need to foster a lifelong love of learning and cooperation:

• Hear, learn and use language.
• Practice their emerging math skills.
• Develop a sense of curiosity.
• Learn to co-operate, think, listen and express feelings.
• Plan, organize and solve problems.
• Experience successes and challenges.
• Repeat familiar tasks and attempt new ones.
• Develop interests.
• Experiment and explore.
• Develop gross/fine motor skills.
• Develop meaningful relationships.

Lansing prides itself in providing a nurturing atmosphere that promotes self-confidence, individuality and respect for others.
