Social/Emotional Skills
We believe that a child’s intellectual and creative potential can only develop fully if their social and emotional capacities are properly nourished. If a child can learn to finish what he/she starts without quitting, if they are honest with others and with themselves as well, if they treat others with respect, if they acquire self-control, and if they work and play cooperatively with others, they will be able to act for, rather then against, their own best interest. Our curricula is designed throughout to engage and nurture these capacities — they are the foundation on which healthy social, intellectual and creative expression are founded.

Future artists create masterpieces with paint and paper.Creative Arts Development
Whether it’s making up simple rhymes or acting in a play, or singing or dancing, or drawing or painting or molding or cooking - children love to create, with their minds, their voices, their bodies, or their hands and eyes in unison — whether it’s a toddler fingerpainting to music or a kindergartener painting with watercolors or a school-ager designing a cardboard mobile to hang from their ceiling.

By the time MCC children are in preschool and kindergarten they have learned to work together to create, with their teacher’s guidance, a simple play or skit or dance or song. They may make props or costumes or learn lines and act or sing, or try to sing in harmony with others — indoors in winter — outdoors in spring, summer and fall.

We value the arts for the pleasure they give others and the pleasure they give to the children who express themselves through them.

Intellectual Development
Our curricula involve children actively in problem solving. Math, reading, writing and oral language give them the tools that allow them to think in an orderly fashion. Our strong emphasis on the MCC natural science curriculum feeds and compliments a child’s natural sense of wonder and curiosity with a real understanding of how nature works.

Physical Development
If you explore our outdoor or indoor facilities you will appreciate just how much value we placeInfants exercise their small bodies as they crawl up ramps and climb over and around low hurdles created with Bear Blocks. Toddlers enjoy pulling wagons. on each child’s physical development. These spaces were designed, not only for the sheer pleasure of running or tumbling or swimming or climbing, but also to teach children how to control their bodies through swimming, tumbling, climbing or playing group and team games. Even our infant room is designed to stimulate and safely support infants’ physical development and control. All of this contributes to children’s sense of comfort with and confidence in their bodies.
