Director's Comments
SSPDS follows the guidelines set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. We believe that children learn best through sensory learning, hands on manipulation. Our goal is for each child to leave SSPDS prepared for kindergarten. True academics prepares children for life as productive human beings, concentrating on not only academics but also on the practical, imaginative and creative thinking powers available to each individual. Learning good social skills is also a very important part of our early childhood environment, we want each child to leave SSPDS confident and ready to be a friend to every one they meet.
