Our
Philosophy
The educational philosophy of the Campus Kids program
is based on the constructivist approach. We believe that each
child is unique and develops at an individual rate. We respect
each child and family and the diversity each family brings into
the program.
We believe that children learn by touching, manipulating, exploring,
and playing. Children also learn important social and emotional
skills by interacting with the environment and the people in the
environment. We feel that it is important to guide children in
learning skills to solve problems through conflict resolution.
We provide developmentally appropriate activities which allow
children to practice and master skills in the cognitive, physical,
social, and emotional domains in a safe and positive environment.
Purpose of the Campus

To provide a safe and wholesome setting for
the children of Miami University Hamilton students, faculty
and staff who need child care for extended or short periods
of time. |
| 2. |
To provide quality child care and educational experiences
for the young children enrolled. |
| 3. |
To provide learning experiences for students that may use
the Center as a resource or observation site. |
| 4. |
To aid in the prevention of college-wide student, faculty
or staff absences due to child care needs.
