Morning Glory Preschool

Describe how teachers work with children who are "behind," "excelling" or "different" from the majority of students.

Our Mission at Morning Glory Preschool is to ensure that every child is seen, heard, and accepted as a unique and complex individual.
We believe that play is an important and necessary part of a child's cognitive development. Our teachers act primarily as observers and facilitators. They encourage the children to engage in understanding the world around them through hands-on activities, music, art, story telling and imaginative play. The teachers further the children's learning through direct conversation and open-ended questions.
We believe that providing a safe and loving environment our children will grow into self-sufficient, caring individuals and productive members of our society. Our ideas and practices are based on the constructivist, developmental perspective of theorists such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and Maria Montessori.

Please describe the ways in which you communicate with parents about their child, the school's learning goals, their child's progress, and activities parents can be doing outside of school to foster their child's development.

The time a child takes to settle into the group and become accustomed to being left by parents vary enormously therefore we encourage parents to visit the school with the child a few times prior the starting day.
