We are dedicated to supporting the National Education Goals for America 2000 by providing all members of the community access to a high quality and developmentally appropriate preschool program to ensure that their children are ready for school. The staff is committed to creating an environment where each child s physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and social growth is enhanced. In partnership with their parents we intend to stimulate the preschool child s sense of wonder, self-confidence and joy of learning. They learn to think by being actively engaged in meaningful experiences. Through sensory stimulation, exploration, and manipulation of real objects they build upon what they already know.
Physical development relies upon good health, nutrition and the safety of the environment.
Our program follows the guidelines for the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The teacher acts as facilitator in supporting the children s growth, interests, emotional needs problem solving skills and ability to cooperate. Teachers will promote the development of cooperative and pro-social behaviors by helping the children understand and accept differences in their school mates. Through on-going assessment and communication with parents the teacher refines the curriculum to meet individual needs. We believe that there is a direct correlation between a child s optimal development and parent involvement in their learning.
