Philosophy of Teaching:
Because children learn best through play, we try to create a classroom environment rich in opportunities for creativity, critical thinking, experimentation, collaboration, and decision making. We know we are creating the foundation for lifetime learning, and we want to build it with the joy of discovery, satisfaction of participation, and contentment of genuine relationships.
Goals for the Class:
- To create a physically, mentally, and emotionally safe environment for all who enter.
- To honor each child’s unique culture, interests, and needs.
- To prepare each child for success in the transition to kindergarten.
