THE GOALS WE
SHARE
One of the most
important goals of our program is to help each child build confidence and a positive self image. Activities such as
making decisions and building friendships allow a child to develop self control, social
awareness and problem solving skills. Our teachers create opportunities, which help
children expand o their growing skills and challenge themselves. We provide a balance
between child-initiated and adult-initiated activities.
|
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Strong ties between staff
and the family are encouraged. Parent-teacher conferences allow special attention to individual needs.
Special family events such as holiday parties
and ethnic snack celebrations help all of us grow in
our appreciation of cultural diversity. Parents
are also encouraged to volunteer in the
classroom, to help with special projects, and to
serve on the Early Childhood Education Board.
