PRECIOUS HEARTS PRESCHOOL
PHILOSOPHY:
Young children are naturally curious, creative and open to new learning experiences. We believe that each child is a unique individual and respect that child's right to develop at an individual rate. We believe that a positive and accepting environment greatly enhances each child's development. Each child needs to be understood, accepted and loved. Precious Hearts  Preschool offers the security of caring adults and the assurance of a nurturing atmosphere.
Young children are by nature self-centered. The Preschool staff encourages a price in self and a growing awareness and acceptance of others. We believe that young children are innately curious and intrinsically active. In fostering each child's intellectual growth, the Preschool staff provides a variety of intriguing materials and challenging experience which enable each child to learn by exploring and interacting with things and people in a stimulating environment. Because young children are physically active, there is freedom of choice in activities and freedom of movement through the daily program.
The Precious Hearts Preschool staff understands and respects the many distinctive characteristics and needs of young children. We believe that these needs can be met in a Christian environment that is safe, nurturing and stimulating and in the care of loving and informed adults. It is that kind of education and care that the Precious Hearts Preschool staff will provide for your child. The program uses a developmental approach designed to assist children in acquiring skills and working on Kindergarten Readiness Skills. |
