Mission Statement Policy No.1
We strive to create a compassionate school-family culture that provides a safe learning environment for the children of The Toddlers Den.
Introduction & Program History Policy No.2
The Toddlers Den is locally owned and operated. The company was started in 1998 by Cynthia Tatum and Cyquinthia Williams, both longtime residents of Fort Worth, Texas. Our goal was to open and operate pre-school and after-school programs that exceeded state and national standards and to move early education into a new era.
The school director is responsible for the daily management of the facility. In the absence of the School Director, the Director of Education and/or the Director of Administration is the designated person in charge. In the absence of the Leadership Team mentioned above, a trusted, designated individual may also be placed in charge.
Philosophy & Goals Policy No.3
We believe that children experience the greatest growth when they feel safe and connected. Therefore, we strive to create a compassionate school family culture that provides a safe learning environment for the children of The Toddlers Den. We acknowledge the importance of teaching the future generation self-regulation and problem-solving skills to succeed in an ever-changing world. We work together with the teacher, child, and parents to establish routines and rituals that provide predictability and consistency within our classrooms.
Our philosophy is simple; Provide developmentally appropriate activities, prepare children to excel in public education, and give children the skills needed to self-regulate when the world does not go their way. All while allowing the child to be a child and to learn through play.
