Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is that young children learn best by doing. Our goal is to create a classroom environment that gives the children the opportunity to learn, explore, and succeed. We consider preschool an important first step in your child’s education. It is our goal to foster a curiosity and love of learning and of the school experience itself. Each child needs to feel not only physically safe but also emotionally safe and appreciated as a unique and very special individual in order to be able to reach his or her potential. |
