The Rockefeller Early Child-o JH 73 rn mn 8g- 2 O hood Magnet School program was developed to provide a good educational start for children whose parents work or attend school. Child-centered in its approach, the program strives to match curriculum to the individual child's interests and styles of learning. Since children need the opportunity to learn about themselves and other cultures to live successfully in the world, the Early Childhood Program is multi-cultural and enrichment-oriented in focus and sensitive to the childrens cultural and ethnic heritages. The developmental program revolves around an active learning philosophy with a full spectrum of activities designed to stimulate children at different levels of development. Children are given the freedom to use materials in their own way, and move about and interact verbally and physically. Staff members are selected for their ability to express love and warmth as well as their formal training in child development. Ongoing training is an integral part of the program.
