Providing Quality Care and Education
for Infant- to Preschool-Aged Children



OUR PHILOSOPHY

Children need quality care in a safe, loving environment. The Mount Ephraim Community Academy provides a positive setting designed for young children of all ages through developmentally appropriate play activities.

We guide children with sensory, motor, perceptual, and language skill activities, which are both childcentered and teacher-directed.

Our program goals for each age group include providing a loving, caring atmosphere where physical affection is freely given. We desire to instill in each child a feeling of autonomy and a positive self-concept.

Discipline is maintained in a positive manner. Behavioral standards are taught in each classroom.
