Welcome to the Little Wagon Early Education Center website. You are about
to learn about a new preschool program begun by the Cambridge Center for
Chinese Culture. The Center (CCCC) has a rich history described in detail
in its website.
Our program, opening in March 2005, will be first and foremost
a quality nurturing and educational experience for young children.
Little Wagon is a bilingual Chinese-English multicultural preschool program
that will serve the public. It will be a place where children whose first
language is Chinese can learn English in a setting that affirms their
culture of origin. And for children whose first language is English, it
offers an opportunity to learn Chinese language, dance and art.
Program Philosophy
Our goal is to bring together the best of western-style developmentally
appropriate practice with the best of Chinese early childhood practice.
Teachers will pay close attention to the children's physical, intellectual,
creative, social and emotional development. We believe children are eager to
learn new things and will provide many opportunities for hands-on
exploration and problem solving. Honoring children's growing awareness of
the world around them, respecting their thoughts and feelings, the program
will support curiosity, build confidence and self-esteem, and nurture
excellence.
