Pre School Philosophy

The Kilgore College Early Childhood Center strives to be a model of excellence in early childhood care and education. The center serves as a training laboratory for students preparing for careers in the early childhood professions while providing services to young children and their families. We believe that the early childhood years are the most important years of a persons life. During the years from birth to about age seven most of a childs personality cognitive ability language proficiency and social skills are well established. Participation in a quality early childhood program enhances a childs development in each of these areas. Indeed research has shown that children who participate in such quality programs have cognitive language and social skills beyond those children who do not have such an opportunity. We believe that young children learn through active participation. As children interact with a well-planned and developmentally appropriate environment under the guidance of trained teachers they create knowledge. We view children as active rather than passive learners. We follow the cognitively-oriented curriculum framework of the High/Scope Foundation. We feel our center must serve the child as well as the family. Families are the first and most important educators of children. We see each child and family as unique; therefore we strive to meet individual needs in a respectful manner. We believe that those we serve at the Early Childhood Center deserve 100% of each employee. Each employee should strive for excellence in her or his work and maintain a professional demeanor at all times.
