Preschool Program Philosophy
We recognize that children are unique and learn at different rates and in different ways. Our program provides experiences to meet children’s needs and stimulate learning in all different areas - physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. We utilize an interdisciplinary, cross-curricular approach that is child-centered with hands-on exploration and an emphasis on the process more than the product of learning. The children are surrounded with literature and language.
We are committed to the growth of each child in an emotionally supportive environment that encourages self-acceptance and self-exploration. We help children become more independent, able to make choices and take responsibility for themselves. We are committed to keeping class size conducive to maximum learning; therefore our student-teacher ratio is maintained at 20 students to 1 teacher and 1 aide (per session).
We operate on the premise that we are in a partnership with the parents of our children, fostering open communication between home and school.
