Developmentally Appropriate Philosophy

The philosophy of Creative Discoveries Preschool is that children learn through play. We provide a safe and stimulating environment where children may develop capabilities in the areas of physical, intellectual, emotional and social growth. This is accomplished through a developmentally appropriate curriculum that emphasizes play and building positive self-esteem. We recognize that every child is an individual with his or her own special interests and needs. Our goal is to guide the child, offer interest, and fulfill needs through first-hand experiences. In this way, children are able to build strong foundations for future learning. We believe in an integrated parent-teacher-child approach to education. Giving parents the opportunity to work in the classroom results in a supportive, caring and nurturing atmosphere for our children's first school experience.

 

When you come into our school, please remember  
...it is a child's world!

These activities are their work, their ideas, their fun.  Sometimes a child's idea of decoration, beauty and housekeeping does not coincide with adults'.  A child's imagination is great!!  Children can do wonderful things...paint the wind...dance like a leaf...find joy and happiness in performing simple tasks.  These are abilities that adults may have lost along the way.
Enter and return for a visit to the world of young children.  Enjoy their enthusiasm for living and learning!
