Pre School Philosophy

Our preschool respects and values children, their families, and their cultures. We recognize that all children have their own strengths and potentials for thinking and learning.

We encourage children to communicate and represent their understandings, feelings and creative selves through written and spoken words, drawings, paintings, sculptures, block constructions, drama, movement, dance, music, computers and more. Teachers use their own knowledge and skills to support and help develop children's abilities and willingness to use communication in many ways.

We welcome collaboration of families with the teachers and children in developing and implementing our educational program, and we encourage their contribution of skills, materials, ideas, and home experiences to enrich the educational process for their children.

Teachers set guidelines for the curriculum. Within these broad guidelines, activities and projects develop through the teachers' attention to the children's interests and cues. Ongoing planning and collaboration by teachers and children together helps determine the direction taken as they work with specific educational values and objectives in mind.

The children have the opportunity and freedom each day to engage in a variety of developmentally appropriate activities for the 'whole child,' along with long-term group projects that reflect the interests of the children. These activities integrate the areas of science, math, pre-reading/reading, language, social studies, and fine arts into the curriculum and continually provide for the development of social skills. The Open Court Phonics Program is one channel through which children are introduced to letters and sounds. Games, manipulatives, literature, art and music reinforce ideas introduced and incorporate all of the senses and every learning style into our approach. Exploration of a 'theme' each month in a variety of ways leads to many discoveries!

Our library, as well as classes in Physical Education and Spanish, are valuable resources and contributors to the growth of children.

Building and enhancing self-esteem and fostering a positive attitude toward learning are of primary importance!
