A message from our founder

When we opened Piccolo Mondo Learning Center in Leominster, Massachusetts on January 9, 1989, our goal was to provide a positive learning environment in which our children would grow and flourish through challenging programs based on a set of beliefs. Our commitment to these beliefs has not wavered:

• A belief in the fundamental importance of safety, growth, care and the development of the early learning experience in a child's life.
   
• A belief in the right of each child as an individual
   
• A belief in the opportunity of an educational experience which is recognized to be of high quality.
   
• A belief in the necessity and importance of  an environment that provides  creativity, discovery and maximum development: socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Children learn through play and exploration of its process.
   
• A belief in the ultimate responsibility to provide for the total welfare of your child with his/her happiness, wants, needs, safety, health and security to be of primary importance with respect to child and family.
   
• A belief that a social groups provide your child with an opportunity to develop a positive self-image, to learn democratic living by sharing and making choices, to learn independence through constructive resolution and by reacting to varied stimuli and situations; and to develop self-confident speech patterns by speaking.
   
• A belief to expand your child's natural curiosity with effective exposure to diverse cultures and lifestyle choices and the inclusion or immersion of children with disabilities.
   
• A belief fostered through encouragement that parents should visit and observe anytime.

My staff would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Piccolo Mondo
 

Sincerely,
Maria D'Ulisse-Cupo
