Our goal is for each child to…
- Form a warm, satisfying friendship with one or more teachers, and one or more children, at the school.
- Develop a love of learning, a belief that he or she has good ideas, and an ability to focus on a project until it is completed.
- Use language and the visual arts to freely and flexibly communicate his or her thoughts and feelings.
- Achieve a strong foundation for reading and writing.
- Acquire a foundation in the key cognitive skills which lead to mathematical and logical thought: Representation, number, classification, seriation, time and spacial relations.
- Begin to learn the arts of listening, empathy, cooperative play, conflict resolution and negotiation.
- Master the gross motor, fine motor and self-help skills needed for success in Kindergarten, and for physical, social and intellectual health and well-being.
- Develop a positive sense of cultural identity and respect for the cultures and traditions of others.
