Philosophy And Curriculum

Our philosophy and curriculum encompass the following ideals.

• Young children learn best when the opportunity to learn is provided in a supportive, relaxed atmosphere where individuality is encouraged.
• Learning takes place best when learning experiences are relevant to the child's everyday life and environment.
• The work of children is play.
• It is important for children to develop personal and social values, to exercise reason and to develop the ability to choose and make decisions.
• Children should be encouraged to develop positive self-concepts and a growing awareness and understanding of all cultures.
• Children need a physical development program designed to encourage physical fitness, coordination, cooperation, still development, and sound nutritional practices.
• The development of children requires open communication between parent and teacher. Our "Open Door" policy along with parent/teacher conferences and parent participation help develop this.
• School and home must work together for the common interest and well- being of the child.
• Children learn love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control through the examples that are set for them.
