Objectives of our Early Childhood Program An effective Early Childhood program should be well defined and structured to include the academic, physical, spiritual and organizational development of young children. Children learn by teacher direction, teacher guidance and through individual self-exploration. The development of a feeling of security and positive self-concept is an integral part of our program and is nurtured through the dedication, interest, motivation and personal qualities of the teachers. We of Holy Family University believe that the whole child should be developed. We believe that children: Must be exposed to an atmosphere of love so that eventually they will be totally inbued with love of god and neighbor. Should be provided with a proper physical setting to allow exploration and discovery. Should be given occasions for language and auditory development. Should be provided with experiences to develop concepts in reading readiness and number meaning.
