Our Philosophy of Education
The family has the primary role in the development of children. We seek to enhance this role by welcoming family involvement in the Children’s Garden Preschool program.
The Children’s Garden Preschool staff and faculty view children as competent and strong individuals created in God’s image. Our environment is safe, nurturing, warm, and encouraging. Our program enables age appropriate problem solving, wise choice making, and developmentally and age appropriate experiences.
It is our belief that children learn through play, concrete experiences, and active exploration. Thus we do not focus on drills, rote memorization or workbooks.
We believe that learning never ends. Our staff and faculty participate in continuing education workshops, training, and childhood education classes.
Goals
Activities at Children’s Garden Preschool integrate learning that meets the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of the children.
Our goals include the development of:
- Strong basic language and literacy skills
- Communication skills with peers and adults
- Large and fine motor skills
- Social skills including empathy, sharing, cooperation, and generosity
- An awareness of God’s love and grace
