These are our guiding principles when educating our students

• LEARNING:

Children arrive at preschool with varied strengths and knowledge. Our low teacher/student ratio permits communication with students in small, personal groups promoting the individuality of each child's potential abilities and aptitudes for learning.

• DEVELOPING:

Our happy, secure, and safe environment provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop a positive self image. It opens their minds to accept the challenges that encourage a child's total developmental maturity, both emotionally and physically.

• CREATING:

We provide opportunities for creative efforts in art, music, dance and dramatization. Through varied experiences we broaden the child's horizons, enrich his/her concepts, and develop his skills.

• INTERACTING AND SHARING:

We encourage child age interaction through various methods like circle time, sharing, independent play and show and tell.

• DISCOVERING:

One of our goals is to develop attitudes of inquiry and discovery, whereby the child observes, thinks, experiments, questions, and thereby gains knowledge and understanding.

• EXPLORING:

Children explore many aspects of the world around them. These are our monthly curriculum themes:

• • September - All about me and Manners

  • October - Fall and Colors

  • November - Thanksgiving

  • December - Family and Shapes

  • January - Nursery Rhymes/Weather

  • February - Numbers

  • March - Transportation

  • April - Animals and their habits

  • May - Under the sea

• SUCCEEDING:

We improve the abilities and social skills of the three year olds in our program and explore activities to promote intellectual and emotional growth. In addition, the four/five year olds advance into experimentation, initial learning skills and the knowledge essential for kindergarten readiness.
