The joy of watching a child learn and grow has led my devotion to developing young children for over 35 years and is the reason I started our first
preschool in 1992. Our three highly-regarded
preschools serve families with a unified focus on the following philosophy and goals: |
|
|
|
KidsFirst Philosophy |
|
|
|
We believe: |
|
|
|
|
|
All children are unique and learn at their
own pace. |
|
|
|
Learning works best when it is fun. |
|
|
|
Self-directed discovery leads to knowledge. |
|
|
|
The joy of learning translates to joy in the
school experience. |
|
|
|
Parents are key to a child’s early education and are part of the teaching team – with KidsFirst. |
|
|
|
A family setting in school instills family values: mutual responsibility, sharing and caring. |
|
|
|
|
KidsFirst Goals Approach is: |
|
|
|
|
|
Cooperative: Classes are divided into small groups where children perform projects, learning from each other under a
teacher's supervision. |
|
|
|
Child-directed: Fosters individual
creativity and curiosity by self-directed,
independent discovery. |
|
|
|
Age-Appropriate: All classes are guided by a definite, planned curriculum and professional daily and weekly lesson plans. |
|
|
|
Thematically Consistent: Monthly and weekly themes provide structure and continuity to reinforce lessons. |
|
|
|
Holistic: We approach a child's development mentally, physically and spiritually. |
|
|
|
|
