School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"we believe........
.....education starts at birth.The first years bring “windows of opportunity� that open a child's life forever. The
greatest gift we can give a child is a preschool education at a high-quality school.
we believe........
.....in a progressive approach to learning. We believe that effective early learning programs tend to borrow ‘best practice' and take guiding principles from a number of models. There are many early learning philosophies that exist and new ones
keep emerging based on new research
we believe.........
......Children teach themselves and at the same time they like some level of organization and discipline. Children have
natural tendencies toward exploration, hard work, creativity, and communication. Our goal is to create a learning environment, which feeds the evolving passions of the children.
we believe........
......that at the early childhood stage children are entirely given over to their physical surroundings, absorbing
their world through their senses and responding through imitation. Therefore adults concerned with young children, including parents, teachers, and caregivers, have a responsibility to create an environment worthy of unquestioning imitation.
we believe.........
.......art is a very important learning tool. It allows children to express themselves and at the same time develops their creativity. Just as art is an integral part of a curriculum we believe an artisitic and aesthetically pleasing physical
environment is equally key in early learning.
we believe.........
......each child is an unique individual who takes an active role in his or her own learning and development. The
deep respect demonstrated toward children and the quality of the relationships between adults and children is a key premise in designing our program.
we believe.........
.......your child is very special to you .......and us"
