Early Childhood

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Early Childhood Program is to provide high quality education for preschool-age children through a nurturing, engaging, culturally responsive and developmentally appropriate curriculum.  

Our Beliefs

• We believe that children learn best through play. We believe everyone has the right and ability to learn.
• We believe in nurturing students to develop positive self-worth and confidence.
• We believe a culturally responsive environment supports student development and parent engagement.
• We believe that early childhood education provides the building blocks for creating life-long learners.
• We believe education is a partnership between home, school, and community.
• We believe in the importance of educating the whole child - intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and creative.
• We believe in utilizing evidence based methods and teaching.
• We believe that children flourish when instruction is engaging, hands-on, innovative, and fun.
