Philosophy

e firmly believe that early access to language exposure and usage is a critical part of young children's development. Language  skills and social skills are very important for children in order for them to be able to communicate effectively and to create and preserve effective relationships. The Storybook Center has based its program on this premise.  By laying a foundation early, children will have solid ground on which to build their successful academic and social learning.

The Storybook Center celebrates different strengths and challenges in children and works with them to develop into happy, confident, social, and communicative children.  Our belief is that no child is broken or disabled, merely differently 'abled'.

We believe play is children’s work and that they learn best by playing and having choices with what to play. The Storybook Center recognizes children are motivated by their peers and that language and communication skills develop within social situations; thus, peer interaction is at the center of all that the children do at the Storybook Center. We provide a fun, safe,  and nurturing environment  that encourages child exploration and discovery with guidance and modeling provided by peers and the staff.  

All children have their own learning and communication style, be it visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or tactile.  The Storybook Center embraces all of these, creating a  sensory-rich environment for language to develop. 

The family is recognized by The Storybook Center as the most important source of children’s education.  Our center believes in working with parents to give families communication and language strategies to help uncover their children’s communication style so that they can more effectively communicate with one another.

We are dedicated to deliver the finest programs, and, when appropriate, to provide optimal referrals for the greatest possible progress for our students. The Storybook Center values and encourages a collaboration with the children's other service providers, a ‘partnership’ which can only benefit the children and their families.
