School Philosophy and Mission

A Child's Garden Preschool is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment for preschoolers. Our goal is to establish a space where they can begin to learn to function in group situations. The developmental program mixes structure and function in a thematic curriculum of art, music, language and science combined with free play: blocks, games, puzzles, outdoor toys and play structures. Each childâ??s individual style dictates his/her choice of activities, and spontaneous fun is integrated into the daily routines. Music, movement, storytelling, role-play and physical activity are mainstays of the program. In addition, the children may participate in UCSF's Kindergym, visits to neighborhood playgrounds, and outings to destinations which tie into the thematic curriculum. Parents are welcome to visit the program at any time and are encouraged to accompany us on field trips.
