MISSION
To establish basic skills through teaching methods that
enhance a child’s…
• Joy in learning
• Ability to learn (all systems are “go”)
• Interest in learning (a broad range of subject
areas)
• Self-image and sense of confidence
• Ability to socialize and communicate successfully
• Journey toward the acquisition of life skills
BELIEFS
• Parents are the child’s first and most important
teachers.
• A child’s most important need is to be loved
and respected by his family.
• Children have their own unique individuality,
which needs to be recognized and respected.
• Children begin to learn from (before) the moment
of birth. The most critical time for learning is from
birth to age six when their brain is “being wired.”
• Children love learning when they feel successful
in their learning.
• Children’s ability to learn can be enhanced
with the proper developmental steps.
• Children have a natural desire to learn, explore
and discover.
• Children’s learning must be time appropriate,
including stopping instruction before mentally, physically
or psychologically fatigued.
• Children need good basic neurological organization
in order to succeed in learning. Physical coordination
reflects mental coordination; i.e. a well-coordinated
body facilitates the ability to learn.
• By becoming knowledgeable in the neurological
and developmental aspects of growth, one can recognize,
understand and provide appropriate stimulation to support
the child’s total development.
• An effective learning environment for young children
is multi-sensory and interdisciplinary so that the learning
is related to and becomes a part of life.
• Science is a natural and high interest format
for introducing the children to the world while fostering
skill development.
In order to generate a love of learning, the child’s
early learning experiences must be:
• Fun
• Creative
• Stimulating
• Ability appropriate
• Fulfilling, and
• Generate feelings of success.
Our desire is to be a gateway into the world and to
teach each child so that he/she:
• Builds a positive self-image and sense of confidence
• Develops thinking and problem-solving skills
• Acquires practical life skills
• Learns positive social and interactive skills,
and
• Recognizes and respects the similarities and
differences among people.
