Enhancing
The Potential
Of Each Child Through A Higher Level Of Care
Cornerstone
Center for Early Learning prepares each child for a lifetime of opportunity.
Did
you know that 50 percent of a child's intellectual capacity is determined
by stimulation after birth? And research shows that the preschool years
are the most critical period for maximizing lifelong learning potential.
As
St. Louis' first accredited early learning facility, Cornerstone Center
is devoted to enriching the lives of children during this critical period
of development. It is our firm belief that all children--regardless
of socio-economic status and developmental ability--can succeed in life
if they are educated from an early age and are encouraged to develop
a positive sense of self-worth. This is the driving force behind all
that we do.
Mission:
Cornerstone
Center for Early Learning provides high-quality, affordable, comprehensive
care and education for children while following a Constructivist philosophy
that governs all aspects of operation. As a nonprofit, United Way agency,
the Center enables parents to enter or remain in the workforce, or to
seek higher education. Cornerstone Center encourages the development
of all people within its sphere, promoting the autonomy, creativity,
and initiative of children, staff, and family members.
