a child is capable of learning more from infancy to seven years of age than at any other time in life. When we consider it, children learn to understand and speak a language before reaching age three. We need to continually expose them to new ideas and new experiences. It follows that one of the greatest gifts we can give our child is a preschool education at a top quality school.
We Believe...
a child likes some degree of organization and discipline. There is security in knowing what is expected and at what time. Children like rules to their games and someone to see that everybody plays fair. In this kind of atmosphere, a child can function to their own potential. In this kind of atmosphere, a child learns self-discipline, which is fundamental to learning.
We Believe...
a child never tires of learning. A child is born with internal motivation to learn. We must take advantage of this early. It is the school's duty to see that this natural motivation is not destroyed, but instead provides a new, challenging learning situation each day.
We Believe...
a child has an unbelievable intellectual curiosity and power to grasp new things. Each child will learn different things from different situations, but all will learn something from each exposure. When each exposure is in game form and there is no pressure to "give back", the child is having fun playing. A child is hardly conscious that they are being fed information that will create a strong foundation for future school years.
We Believe...
a child relates well to their peers and the world around them when they have learned and continue to practice strong core values. With guidance, a child develops respect, sympathy and empathy, and a genuine concern for others. Character development should be a continuous joint effort by home and school. We want them to enjoy their friends and feel a part of the group. We want them to feel that school is a warm, loving, happy, safe place.
We Believe...
a child is very important as an individual, and it is of extreme importance that the child know this. Children must learn to believe in themselves. How children feel about themselves will directly affect learning. We want them to feel successful. We want them to replace attitudes of "I can't" and "I'm not good at ... " with attitudes of "I'll try" and "I'm good at that". We want them to have a positive self-image so that they can use their talents and abilities to the fullest.
