School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

Attending preschool is an important event in the early development of your child. We believe that a child's natural ability to play and explore needs to be fostered constantly. Their curiosity, creativity, adaptability and self-image can be developed more positively with age-appropriate activities in a safe environment. We believe a child's adjustment to society and the ability to develop one's own potential for happiness and productivity are largely determined by the guidance received in the early years. For these reasons, we feel it is important to surround each child with positive, nurturing experiences that will enhance his/her physical, emotional, social, and academic growth. We offer many opportunities for free choice and teacher-directed activities. These activities vary according to your child's age and developmental needs. We accept all children with love, respect, and dignity.
