Our goal to build and strengthen friendships will enable the children to discover their strengths and will allow for self-exploration through the child-directed curriculum.
School Philosophy:
As a nation our most important resource is children. Through the
wonder of a happy, supportive childhood a child can gather the tools he
or she
will need to function as a productive adult in our society. In many
situations the job of providing this environment
is taken on by the parents. But an
increasingly large number of children are turning to teachers and
administrators to fill these roles. Children
require the opportunity to grow at their own pace, therefore, a
curriculum should
remain flexible as well as provide basic knowledge on which they will
be able
to build learning skills for a lifetime.
As a licensed school we are responsible for launching students'
academic
and social careers. Through our hands-on
curriculum, social experiences, field trips, intergenerational
activities, and
physical environment we are prepared to meet the needs of our students
and give
them the tools to become successful students as well as valuable
resources to
our society.
