University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee

Program Goals:

Although our styles and approach to curriculum may look different, program goals in every age group include:

• Fostering social/emotional growth by providing children with a secure and loving base.
• Helping children develop a positive self-concept and respect for individual and cultural differences.
• Aiding the development of language, self-expression, gross and fine motor skills.
• Encouraging the development of self-help skills which satisfy the children's increasing need for independence and control over their environment.
