About Us

Our Vision & Mission

Our Program Goals & Guiding Principles

Our Program Goals & Guiding Principles

At iCare Connect, our mission is to provide high-quality, inclusive early childhood and school-age care that nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and developmentally rich environment where every child, including those with medical, emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs, can learn, grow, and thrive.

We partner closely with families, schools, healthcare providers, and community agencies to ensure equitable access, individualized support, and meaningful learning experiences from infancy through age 12. Our commitment is to enrich children, strengthen families, and uplift the communities we serve through excellence in early education and compassionate, specialized care.

Our Program Goals & Guiding Principles

1. Support Families as Partners

We strive to support parents and guardians in the shared responsibility of raising confident, capable children by maintaining open communication, transparency, and a collaborative approach to care.

2. Provide Safe, Healthy, and Nurturing Environments

We ensure that every child receives loving, attentive care in classrooms that are safe, clean, cheerful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

3. Foster Positive Self-Image & Social-Emotional Growth

We help children build confidence, self-control, empathy, creativity, and mutual respect through consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and meaningful relationships.

4. Deliver High-Quality, Individualized Education

We provide excellent educational experiences through hands-on exploration, self-paced learning centers, group activities, and readiness skills in literacy, math, science, and problem-solving.

5. Meet Each Child’s Unique Needs

We recognize and respond to each child’s individual learning style, developmental level, and any medical, behavioral, or developmental needs—including IEPs, 504 Plans, therapies, and care plans.

6. Promote Active Learning & Age-Appropriate Development

We offer intentional, developmentally appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, independence, critical thinking, and active involvement in the learning process.

7. Build Self-Help Skills & Decision-Making

We encourage children to develop independence, responsibility, and self-help skills that prepare them for school, social interactions, and lifelong success.

8. Strengthen Communities

We aim to uplift our surrounding communities by providing equitable access to quality care, supporting working families, and collaborating with partners dedicated to child and family well-being.

Philosophy of Education

Our Program Goals & Guiding Principles

It is our philosophy that the development of the individual as a whole being is attained through the enrichment of the social, intellectual aspects of his/her nature. Our philosophy comes from the celebration of life through love, respect, caring, and sharing. Thus, the staff at ICare Connect  works to promote the development of a healthy, inquisitive, and self-confident child that is prepared for the social and mental requirements of education and is nurtured in a warm, supportive, and secure environment in which love for others is taught and shared. 

  

We believe children are unique individuals who grow and develop at their own pace with their own strengths, needs, and interests. The Center offers a variety of learning opportunities generated from these needs and interests. Many choices are provided within a carefully arranged structure. Learning through play and actual experiences is a cornerstone of the program.
