Play Learn and Grow the Foundation for the Future

We BELIEVE:

• Play is a child’s natural learning environment and it is the role of the Pre-K school to provide intentional play experiences that offer open ended learning experiences
• Families can be active partners in educating their children
• Communication, problem-solving, and thinking skills are crucial to academic learning
• Children can learn appropriate behavior
• Diversity in cultures, abilities, and families is valued
• It is critical to provide services for children who have delays in development or disabilities
• A collaborative approach to teaching, planning, and problem solving including staff, families, and community members makes for a more effective school
• All staff members have a responsibility to help maintain a warm, friendly, and supportive school environment.
