Philosophy

We believe that the unique qualities found in each child bring an excitement to our program.  This excitement inspires our teachers and engages our students.  Each child brings his/her own experiences and abilities to school.  This results in varying rates of development.  Knowing that all areas - physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental - work together towards a child’s maturation, we have the following goals:

• Promote Christian nurture and enthusiasm for living.
• Develop a strong sense of self-respect within the child as well as respect for others.
• Promote an awareness and acceptance of the diversity of our culture.
• Nurture the child’s ability both to express and control emotions and feelings.
• Plan activities appropriate to the child and encourage sharing and communication.
• Promote creative thinking and encourage powers of observation.
• Provide the child with a wide variety of stimulating activities in a responsive and enriched environment.
• Aid the child in forming positive, trusting relationships with others.
• Work in harmony with parents to provide support services if needed.
• Foster a love for reading through literacy experiences.
