Lone Mountain Children's Center

From the Director:

We offer a developmental, theme-based preschool program for children age two years and seven months through five years and six months. The program is designed to be nurturing, creative, and fun, in a context that honors structure and develops self-discipline. Each of the three levels actively supports and cultivates a child's social, cognitive, physical, emotional and language development, utilizing an array of primarily experential and hands-on educational techniques. In addition, the school offers a curriculum that is unique to Lone Mountain in both approach and degree of sophistication. By the culmination of the three-year program, Lone Mountain students have been exposed, in an age-appropriate manner, to most of the traditional academic disciplines: Art, Music, Science, History, Sociology, Geography, Psychology, World Religions, etc. Our hope is to inspire a life-long fascination with learning and discovery.

From the Director:

We have a theme-based program with a balance of child-directed and teacher-directed activities.

Our philosophy is to meet and accept each child as he or she comes to us. We work to build on a child's developmental strengths, while giving special attention to those areas which are less strong. We believe that when a child is provided the opportunity to preserve and enhance a positive sense of self, then the essential foundation for all learning and self-actualization has been established. We strive to ensure that each child has a positive first school experience, and leaves us well prepared and eager to meet life's further adventures.
