Pre School Philosophy

UNITY: We encourage children to help each other. We support them in tying each other's shoes, zipping each other's coats, and by letting older children show newer/younger children "the ropes."
LEADERSHIP: We encourage children to decide things for themselves. We support children in making choices, in problem solving, and in understanding the consequences of their actions. We want children to learn to be decision-makers and encourage all children to develop leadership ability.
COLLECTIVE WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY: We encourage children to work together to make life better, not only for themselves but also in relationship to others. We support them in doing chores, setting the table, and cleaning up by putting toys and materials away. We also participate in community and group projects.
PURPOSE: We encourage children to develop new skills and learn about differences in themselves and in others. We read books and sing songs and eat food from different cultures. We want to expose children to a variety of learning experiences regarding the differences and commonality of other cultures so they will have a better understanding of their world and become more tolerant. We support special activities and projects during Black History Month, and help children understand the celebration of Kwaanza, Channuka,Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, as well as other significant cultural events.
CREATIVITY: We encourage children to be creative. We support them in dancing, making their own works of art, sharing music, and in using their imagination.
