Children
Juvenescence believes that every child deserves a safe, warm, and caring environment in which they can grow and develop to their maximum potential. We are committed to fostering each child’s self-esteem, feeling of self-worth and value through positive care giving. We use stimulating activities that will promote each child’s physical, social, and intellectual growth and development.
Every child is entitled to the opportunity to:
- develop personal responsibility and social skills,
- learn to problem solve,
- learn about diversity though our community.
Each child is recognized as a unique individual who brings their own gifts to the program. They deserve encouragement and the space to try new things, explore new ideas, and develop their own unique creativity.
