1. Belonging
We believe in allowing our child to gain a sense of connectedness with their peers, educators, and families and engaging in experiences where they feel valued as an individual participating when in a larger group.

The Four Foundations of HDLH
2. Well Being
We believe in allowing the child to understand themselves as a whole individual capable of engaging in self-care, sense of self, and self-regulation skills.
3. Engagement
We believe in allowing children to become involved within the play environment, encouraging interest to allow for inquiry-based learning. By doing so, it encourages vital skills to grow such as problem-solving skills, creative thinking, etc.
4. Expression
We believe in encouraging children to communicate their beliefs through various forms of communication such as body and verbal language and use of materials. Forms of expression increase the opportunity for literacy engagement.
