Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is premised on respect and love for each child as an individual, considering each as a unique personality bringing individual skills and experiences into the classroom. We believe that three and four-year-olds best grow and learn through creative play in an atmosphere that inspires each child to explore a wide range of activities. Children can choose the pace at which they explore and the tools with which they will learn in their areas of interest. Children are encouraged to try new skill-building activities, and to expand their interests in a framework comfortably conducive to discovery.

We believe preschool is a first independent experience for children, where each child begins to discover who s/he is. Because children are easily impressed by others' reactions to them, we strive to instill a sense of respect for self and others. Children learn to respect others in play situations with a goal of allowing children to think independently within the context of the class. We create situations, through play and activities, where children can learn to build close and wholesome friendships. It is one of our ultimate goals to guide and respond to children in ways that build confidence, self-esteem and respect for each child in our school.
