Mother’s Day Out Christmas Program will be December 16, at 10:00 am.

PHILOSOPHY

The Mother`s Day Out and Kindergarten Program emphasizes the importance and value of each individual child. We subscribe to the belief that the best preparation for school is a solid foundation and we strive not to omit for any child any steps in the developmental process in any area of growth.

. . .We believe a sound program of pre-primary education should focus on all areas of human development. No one area – social, emotional, physical, or intellectual – can or should be emphasized to the exclusion of any other area.

. . .We see all children as worthy individuals, capable of success, and we strive to instill in all children a positive self-image and a feeling of confidence in their own abilities.

. . .We understand that all learning is sequential and that children grow and mature according to nature`s own good time. We believe pressure and arbitrarily subscribed expectations to be counterproductive; we focus instead on positive reinforcement of children`s attempts to master skills appropriate to their individual developmental levels.

. . .We acknowledge the need for continuity between home and school and actively encourage parental interest and participation in our instructional program.

. . .We believe that curiosity and the desire to know are instinctive characteristics of mankind. We strive to capitalize on these characteristics and to foster a love of learning in and of itself, as well as to help in achieving future educational goals.

. . .We subscribe to the belief that the best insurance for educational success is a solid foundation and we see the kindergarten experience as an orientation to all future learning experiences.

. . .We recognize the importance of enrichment to learning and we believe that well-equipped classrooms staffed with enthusiastic, warm, supportive, well trained personnel can make truly immeasurable contributions to the educational lives of children.

Thank you for entrusting your child`s life in our hands. It is a gigantic task and responsibility, but it is one we are excited to assume because God has led us into this joyous ministry.
