Our Teaching Philosophy

How Children Learn

"Children are born ready to learn. Caregivers create a stimulating, encouraging environment where children develop knowledge through active interaction with materials, people, events, and experiences. Learning is sequential, builds on prior understanding, and each child progresses at a different rate. Young children learn best through play, culture, familiar context, family involvement, and guidance."
From Our Families

What Parents Are Saying

From the very beginning, Hurney's has felt like an extension of our family. The caring, nurturing atmosphere is something truly special, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond to make every child feel loved, supported, and confident. It's clear that they don't just care for children, they genuinely love them, and that love shows every single day.

My child graduated well prepared for kindergarten and for life beyond the classroom. Thanks to the intentional learning experiences and engaging projects, he was able to write and recognize all of his letters and had developed a strong foundation academically and socially. Learning was always made fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate, which helped him grow naturally and confidently.

We are forever grateful for the dedication, patience, and heart that the teachers and staff bring every day. This center has given our child not only an excellent educational start, but also a sense of security, belonging, and joy that we will always treasure.
