We believe in a child-centered classroom that addresses the children's social, academic, emotional and physical needs. Our primary goal is socialization. We strive to foster the individuality of each child while helping the class grow into a cohesive community.

Activities throughout the day address all modalities of learning - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Our literacy goals are to help children realize that the written word conveys a message and that it is "talk written down." We focus on upper and lower case letter recognition. Math, science and social studies activities round out our daily schedule.

We value children's creativity. We sing every day at our Song Meeting. There is art every day at Choice Time. We believe in open-ended art that focuses on the process.

We celebrate holidays and focus on family traditions, community and helping others. We encourage children to be open-minded and try to deconstruct stereotypes.

Ongoing assessment helps us to plan the curriculum, while meeting individual needs. Daily notes are placed on the Parent Board to inform parents about their child's daily activities.

We believe each school year is a journey of discovery, joy and learning for children and teachers. We look forward to traveling with you!
