Philosophy Statement
The practices of the Air Force Child Development Programs are based on current knowledge of child development and early childhood education. We are responsible for supporting the development of the whole child, meaning all areas of development are considered interrelated and equally important.
Our program acknowledges that children learn through active, hands-on involvement with their environment, peers, and caring adults. We respect each child’s unique interests, experiences, abilities, and needs, thus allowing us to be responsive to and appropriate for each child.
Children are valued as individuals, as well as part of a group. Likewise, our program respects and supports families’ ideals, cultures, and values in nurturing children. We advocate for children, families, and early childhood professionals within our programs.
