Our Philosophy
Educational Playcare
We trust that in the right environment, a child’s natural curiosity and creativity lead to endless opportunities to grow in knowledge and develop a passion for learning. We provide that environment at Rowdy Rascals by making it a safe and nurturing place. Children will be encouraged to build, splash, dash, pretend, and create their way to exciting discoveries about the world around them. We allow children to join the Rowdy Rascal’s Family as an infant and to stay with us throughout their pre-teen years, and in many, cases beyond.
Fun for All Ages
Each day with us will be a chance for a child to grow socially, cognitively, emotionally, and physically. As early as infancy, children will be provided with learning opportunities adapted to fit his or her age, developmental stage and learning style. Full-Day, Year-Round Care, AM and PM Part Time Care, all-day preschool, Drop-in Care, Summer Camps, and even Teen Responsibility Camps all in one location, make it possible for you to provide your child with the care and education that will help them become happy, healthy lifelong learners.
One-Of-A-Kind Cirriculum
Rowdy Rascals is renowned for its innovative and unique curriculum, the result of over 19 years of dedicated development by CEO Jamie Taylor. Through extensive study of educational philosophies—including Waldorf (also known as Steiner), Reggio Emilia, and Montessori—Mrs. Taylor has crafted the “Educational Playcare” system, which consistently exceeds parents’ expectations.
Drawing from her research on early childhood education, birth order, sibling dynamics, and her own experience raising and teaching children, Mrs. Taylor identified key elements that were missing in existing methods. She discovered that children’s most significant learning occurs from birth to age five, and while she is not a physician, philosopher, or formally recognized early childhood expert, her hands-on approach has produced remarkable outcomes.
The culmination of her research and practical experience led to the creation of the Taylor Method. This approach combines aspects of well-established educational techniques with new ideas to give children an unparalleled advantage in their developmental journey. The Taylor Method is a flexible, child-centered educational philosophy that adapts to the needs and interests of each classroom. It emphasizes real-life experiences, creative exploration, and meaningful connection to the environment, helping children develop through structured collaboration with educators, families, and peers, as well as independent learning.
By fostering both structured curriculum and child-led play, the Taylor Method promotes holistic early childhood development. It enhances gross and fine motor skills, speech and language development, literacy, mathematics, cognitive growth, social and emotional evolution, and creative expression. Through this unique blend of practices, Rowdy Rascals offers an unmatched educational experience for young learners.
