Pre K Philosophy

It is the philosophy of the Lewis-Palmer Preschool that early childhood schooling be a time of
fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. Preschool children are creative and receptive.
The staff views each child as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth
and development. Parents, who are recognized as active and equal partners in making decisions,
participate by making choices and discussing options of services and support. The main goal of
the program is to provide a developmentally appropriate practice by:
1. Providing warmth and support that creates opportunities for children to demonstrate and
practice newly developed self-help and personal/social skills.
2. Providing ample time for children to persist at self-chosen tasks and to practice and perfect
developing fine and gross skills, adaptive behaviors, communication abilities and cognitive
skills.
3. Providing age-appropriate materials for exploring and learning about the environment,
allowing children to exercise their natural curiosity to experiment with cause and effect
relationships, and seeking answers to simple and higher level problems.
4. Encouraging development of self-control by using positive guidance techniques such as peer
modeling and encouragement of expected behavior, setting clear limits and offering
redirection to more acceptable activities.
5. Providing opportunities for children to develop aesthetic expression and appreciation through
art and music.
6. Providing an integrated program of instruction centered on basic concepts such as math,
science, social studies, health, reading readiness and other developmental content areas.
7. Encouraging development of speech and language skills through direct and indirect
interventions, home program strategies and age-appropriate peer modeling.
8. Encouraging the expression of his/her own heritage and culture through a wide range of
multi-media activities.
