Bryan Park Preschool for Global Children

From the Director:

Our philosophy is that that learning takes place while children are having fun and exploring the world around them.

From the Director:

Up to a certain age, children simply absorb language without having to be taught it. Research has shown that the younger they start learning a foreign language, the easier it is, and the more likely they are to master a native accent. Preschool children are at an optimal age to begin; even nursery-aged children can benefit. Immersing them in a foreign language environment lays the groundwork for fluency. Additionally, studies have shown advantages far beyond ease of learning. Children who have had foreign language instruction demonstrate better problem-solving skills, more advanced reading skills, and a greater grasp of their first language. They exhibit more confidence, a larger view of the world, and greater flexibility in thinking.

At Bryan Park Preschool for Global Children, we provide an environment that nurtures, educates, and enriches children's lives. We help prepare them to be citizens of the wider world in surroundings that are fun, safe, and supportive.

Our educational program focuses on reading, music, art, foreign language, science, and math. We provide opportunities for learning through hands-on discovery, exploration, and play in a bright and cheerful classroom in our home. We help children explore the world and become global kids through their natural curiosity, creativity, and desire to learn.

Social learning is as important as academic learning during the preschool years. At Bryan Park Preschool for Global Children, we teach tolerance and appreciation for the similarities and differences of others. We emphasize the virtues of cooperation and learning to take turns. Children receive the individual attention they need to reach their full potential, at their own pace.

The Bryan Park Preschool philosophy views the home as an extension of the school and the school as an extension of the home. All parental participation is welcome and encouraged. Join us in developing your child's potential.

We invite you to come and visit us to learn more about the programs we offer.

We provide structure through routines such as starting and ending the day with circle time, and keeping lunch and naps at the same time every day. Other activities we plan thoughout the day remain more flexible and can be changed according to the children's wants and moods. Learning social skills is integrated into everything we do.

Bryan Park Preschool for Global Children provides daily oral reports on how your child has been eating, sleeping, and behaving. We have a bulletin board located in the entry of the school for general announcements and information. We do frequent open houses and school/family nights.
We view the school as an extension of the home and the home as an extention of the school. Having an open dialogue with parents is of the upmost importance to us. We support and encourage parent participation in all aspects of our school.

Each child's transition into starting preschool is different and we will work with you as individuals to make sure your child has the support he or she needs.
