Our History

       Fairfield Enrichment Center was established in September of 1994. We are a family owned and operated facility. We have grown from 68 children to 145 children in two programs. We provide high quality childcare by meeting the needs of each individual child, while educating and assisting the family and supporting the communities in which we serve. Fairfield Enrichment Center is guided by its philosophy and we feel this accounts for much of the success we have experienced.

 

Our Philosophy

      Fairfield Enrichment Center provides comprenhensive child care for children and families in warm, safe, and nurturing environments, which foster individual development and creative expression. The Child Care Center offers Preschool and Child Care services for children between the ages of six weeks and 5 years. The School Age Program provides services for children between kindergarten entry and 10 years of age.

      Fairfield Enrichment Center believes that each child is an individual who deserves to be respected and appreciated for his/her own unique character. We believe that young children learn best by interacting actively with their environment. Each area/classroom is specially designed to accommodate the specific developmental needs and abilities of different age groups. All rooms have clearly designated activity centers that promote social interaction, self-confidence, and independence. Materials are made available to the children to promote exploratory and productive activities along with fostering self-direction. This allows the teacher to interact with the children and devote more time guiding the learning process rather than directing activities.

      We feel that the best curriculum for young children is one that is based on Biblical principles and provides for growth in all areas of development - spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and creative.

      We consider our teaching staff to be our most valuable resource and provide ongoing training and support in order to encourage their continued professional growth and development.
