Philosophy
The Tiny Toppers Preschool Program has a comprehensive approach to educating and enriching the whole-child. Our preschool curriculum is play based, as play is the most developmentally appropriate approach to learning. Our inclusion classrooms welcome and support the diverse academic, social, emotional and communication needs of all students. With experienced and highly qualified teachers, we can enable each child to reach their higher potential by supporting children wherever they are on their own learning path and timeline.
The Tiny Toppers Preschool Program provides a safe, developmentally appropriate, nurturing environment that promotes social, emotional, cognitive, academic and physical growth, as well as a positive self image.
The teachers and staff at HBES will work as a community to create an environment that fosters a love of learning and critical thinking.
The most learning takes place when parents and teachers work together! There are many ways that you can support your child's learning both in the classroom and at home.
Maintain open lines of communication between school and home
Take an active interest in your child's daily routine at school (ask them questions about their day!)
Read to your child every night and have your child read to you
Celebrate your child's successes
Talk to your child's teachers about their progress
Make an active effort to attend school events inclusive of celebrations, workshops, PTO events and school events (Back-to-School Night, Conferences, etc.)
Engage in daily conversations with your child (learn about their classmates, teachers, daily routine, highs & lows of their day)
Volunteer for school-wide events
Communication is a crucial piece of your child's academic and social success. We are always available for any needed support!
