What We Are About
Philosophy
Turtle Island Children's Center (TICC) recognizes children are competent, capable, theory builders and participants in their own learning. Our program provides a creative and engaging environment for children between six weeks and five years of age supporting each child’s growth, development and sense of belonging in our community.
Mission
Our mission is to foster and sustain a thriving community of care and education while elevating the voices of children and early childhood educators. This is a respectful partnership between children, teachers, families, the larger community and the Earth.
Vision
The vision of Turtle Island Children’s Center is to provide high-quality care and education for young children. We respect children as citizens of today, and provide them with opportunities to strengthen and develop their sense of self to grow into collaborative problem solvers and active citizens of the world. Turtle Island works to meet the needs of Vermont families through providing financially accessible care from highly qualified, equitably compensated, educators.
