Preschool Program

This program offers a variety of hands-on activities and experiences. Through play, children aged three to five create, explore, and pretend. Planned activities and consistent

daily schedules are balanced with free time to create a developmentally appropriate setting that enhances the preschooler’s love of learning.

 

The purpose of the preschool is to provide a safe and caring environment for children, while meeting their individual creative, emotional, intellectual, physical, linguistic, and social needs. We believe this development happens by creating a warm and trusting

atmosphere where children can establish a sense of security through a combination of hands-on experiences and active involvement in play. We also believe in making every effort to involve parents in the education of their children. A child’s self-esteem is to be valued and enhanced. We therefore use positive guidance techniques and look for the strengths within each child. We promote play as an important avenue for learning and

enjoyment. Through play children discover, pretend, test, classify, organize, and interact with others. Play spurs imagination, initiative, and purpose.

 

We acknowledge the importance of a child’s unique and intrinsic sense of wonder. We therefore provide a variety of hands-on activities and experiences to encourage exploration, manipulation, problem solving, and sharing. We believe in offering choices

for children, giving them a sense of empowerment and self-control. This is carried out by balancing structured and unstructured daily activities, and offering individual, small, and large group interactions. Most importantly, we believe in and respect a child’s right to be a child. We encourage discovery, fun, laughter, and success.
