Our Wonder-full Beginnings preschool enrichment and school readiness program is a nurturing, supportive environment in which children develop a love of learning through spontaneous learning experiences as well as organized activities, both of which are essential to future success in learning environments and life in general.
We believe in strengthening a core set of values by being positive role models and providing guidance during teachable moments.
We value and place importance on:
Kindness
Morality
Integrity
Patience
Respect for self, others, our community, and the environment
Acceptance
Proper manners
Self-regulation/management
Responsibility
Confidence
Self-esteem
Independent thinking
Creativity
Problem-solving
Our long-running preschool enrichment program has been designed by using a combination of the best features of the educational theories of Lev Vytogsky, Howard Gardner, Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and the Reggio Emilia Approach.
Instructors have extensive education and experience in early childhood development, psychology, and the arts. Wonder-full beginnings has been designed using the DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practices) philosophy, and we are constantly adapting our program to incorporate current knowledge about early childhood development.
Children will engage in learning experiences that enhance social/emotional, language/ literacy, cognitive, and motor skill development through exciting art, music, play, science, outdoor, and pre-reading activities.
