School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"A new way to help people in child care integrate culturally; responsive care giving with developmentally appropriate practices.
Helping children to develop self discipline, self esteem, problem solving skills, and assisting them in creating a stronger sense of themselves.
In the heart of teacher and child interaction, is a simple but heartfelt philosophy; "Teachers must deal with children with humor, compassion, and respect."
The importance of modeling the appropriate behavior...giving children options...helping children to express their feelings...the concept of re-direction...dealing with the needs of the individual child.
"
Excerpted from the preschool's website
