Curriculum

UWMC Children’s Center at Northwest is a community of families and teachers who strive to provide a safe and respectful environment where children and families are loved and cared for. Children have the opportunity for creativity and growth so they master skills of resiliency, self-regulation and intrinsic motivation. Embracing the Reggio Emilia philosophy of focusing on a child’s natural development, the Center is child-centered and directed, embracing the philosophy that learning must make sense to the student to be effective and meaningful. The child’s point of view is completely respected and the student is encouraged to follow their own educational path.
