About Us

Philosophy

RDC's Children's Program is committed to quality caring and teaching of young children. Our goal is to provide a warm, friendly, and safe environment for children and their families. We believe that children thrive in an environment that is child-centered and play-based. All experiences are potential learning situations. Therefore, we want to provide a positive, stimulating environment involving the whole child in all areas of development; social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and creative. In this way, children have every opportunity to establish a positive self-concept, to become responsible and independent, to get along with others, and to enjoy the challenge of learning about their world.
