If fact are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which seeds must grow. It is more important to pave the way for the child to want to know than it is to put him on a diet of facts he is not ready to assimilate. The above quote represents the basis for our philosophy at Our Little Angels Preschool.
Young children are by nature curious.
They thirst for knowledge, but it must be on their individual levels of understanding. Given a well prepared classroom environment which guarantees exposure to a wide variety of materials and experiences, children are free, within limits, to develop at their own rates. At Our Little Angels, we create this environment for all children, regardless of race, religion, national origin, cultural heritage, family status or disability and offer them a fair and full opportunity to reach their potentials. Our curriculum is based on play activities, for it is through self directed play that children develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically according to their own needs. We want children to recognize that through their play they are actually learning about their world.
