Our Philosophy

 

♥  A gradual separation process is essential for a child to achieve a successful and positive adjustment to their  initial school experience.
 
♥  Parents are a child’s primary teacher. Parents and teachers working together, therefore, can provide the best first learning experience for their children. This approach helps children establish a connection and ease the transition between home and school.
 
♥  Develop each child’s positive sense of self.
 
♥  Promote cooperative, pro-social behavior.
 
♥  Recognize, accept, and respect the uniqueness of each child.
 
♥  Offer a developmentally appropriate program that promotes learning through meaningful, purposeful, enriched play experiences. Children learn best through their play.
 
♥  Emphasize learning through discovery by providing active and hands-on experiences.
 
♥  Encourage independent and creative thinkers.
 
♥  Commit to laying the foundations of learning and to the importance of developing enthusiastic lifelong learners.    Help children to realize the joy of learning.
 
♥  Offer child-initiated activity choices based on interest, maturity level, and ability.
 
♥  Provide an organized and structured learning environment.
 
♥  Create and promote a sense of community for the children and their families.
 
♥  Encourage on-going professional development of the teaching staff.
