Parent Handbook |
The program is based on these concepts and philosophies:
- Children learn the skills necessary for success in school and life at an early age.
- Each child learns at his/her own rate.
- Success in learning will develop the child’s self-image.
- Growth is a sequential and orderly process
- Children pass through stages of development, which occur in a predictable sequence in the physical, affective, and cognitive growth domains.
Our responsibility is to assist the child in growing to their fullest potential by recognizing each stage of development and then preparing the curriculum to achieve the goal.
