Our Mission

Faithful to the wishes of Elizabeth Batchelder Davis, The E.B. Davis Children's Center exists to provide for the emotional growth, well being and development of children. Through programs that educate and develop social, ethical and intellectual skills, we will offer the highest quality of children's developmental services available. We will maintain a learning, nurturing and safe environment for children to grow to their fullest potential.

How we accomplish our Mission is as important as the mission itself. Every action we take will be guided by these values:

Individualism - We believe that each child is a unique person. We recognize that each child needs to be nurtured and accepted for the special skills and talents that they will offer to society.

Caring - We believe that a child can excel only when they feel safe and loved. we foster an environment that embraces love and respect that cherishes the children we are entrusted.

Respect - We believe that when children are respected for who they are, they will also respect others. We develop programs and activities that assure their dignity and development of children above all else. We involve parents and other caregivers in decisions that are important to them.

Character Development - We believe that the moral foundation of our society is based on honest and principled behavior to each other. To establish principles of good conduct, a system of moral values must be taught at an early age to children so that they know the difference between right and wrong.

Learning - We believe that our lives are a journey of life-long learning. We enlighten and guide the minds of children by creating an environment of receptivity, learning and discovery. Only through knowledge will children be able to achieve their full potential.
