Description: Early childhood education begins when a child is physically and emotionally ready to explore the world with new people and in new places – separate from the home environment. It is meant to be an extension of the caring and teaching experience the child receives from birth.
Preschool emphasizes the principle that children learn through play. Play is promoted as a means to provide divergent thinking and facilitation of fantasy roles. Nurturing, warm, flexible interaction between adults and children will lead to positive social and emotional growth and strengthen awareness of self. The children will have the opportunity to explore, create, problem-solve and develop independence. Teachers are facilitators; they stimulate, encourage and guide, but never dominate. Children need to experience trusting, supporting relationships that will enable them to develop positive self images, learn to exercise self-control, and thereby achieve autonomy. We want children to develop body awareness and coordination and to learn to communicate feelings and ideas.
