Tru-Mah-Col Philosophy

Caregivers are the key element entrusted with providing quality experiences and environments for young children.

We believe that caregivers:

  • Possess a desire to work with children yet possess a variety of levels of experience and education in working with children.
  • Strive to do a good job.
  • Have a basic need to be acknowledged for their effort.
  • Desire to be viewed as professionals and should be adequately compensated for their expertise.
  • Have a responsibility to gain knowledge of early childhood development and practices as articulated by NAEYC.
  • Should be life-long learners of appropriate early childhood practices.

Tru-Mah-Col Statement

We value:

  • A variety of teaching styles that meet the unique learning styles of each child.
  • The nurturing caring relationships between caregiver, family, and child that is built on trust.
  • The individuality of each caregiver, child, and family.
  • The unique gifts and qualities of each child.
  • The opportunities to learn with and share knowledge with our colleagues/peers.
  • Our collaborative efforts with other organizations.
  • A welcoming astrosphere that includes both adults and children who represent diverse cultures, talents, and needs.
  • The efforts of adults who strive to achieve excellence in their roles and early childhood professionals.
