Kindergarten Philosophy

Early childhood is a significant period in human development. Independence, initiative, decision making, creativity, the ability to learn, the ability to relate to others and feelings of self-worth all have their beginnings in early childhood. What young children learn at this stage will have a major impact on successful learning experiences in school, on personal development and on future participation in society.

Today children come to kindergarten with varied backgrounds due to many home experiences, nursery schools, travel, and television. Although they may have more exposure to academic knowledge, our concern is the total child. Their physical, social, emotional, and academic needs must be considered and developed for a well-balanced program.

That’s why the kindergarten program is activity based, hands-on and developmentally oriented. The kindergarten curriculum is mindful of the importance of extensive use of manipulative methods, designed so that students are given opportunities to learn through purposeful, meaningful play. The classroom atmosphere encourages individuals to grow at their own rates and according to their own interests and experiences while becoming aware of their role in a group.
