Community Preschool
Learning and Growing Together
Philosophy Statement
At Community Preschool we realize that
a child’s early years build the foundation for their
lifetime pursuit of a happy, successful life. From birth
to the age of five, every waking moment of a child’s life
is an unprecedented opportunity to have experiences so
precious they will last their lifetime. To see through a
child’s eyes is to witness how truly joyous it is to be
alive, and to do so very well what we were created to do
here on earth – learn, grow and share. A child’s ability
to experience life and learn at an almost unfathomable
rate, could be labeled as nothing other than the child
genius. Every child has this inside of them. We must allow
it to flourish.
At Community Preschools, the nurturing of this genius is
intrinsic and as expected as breathing and smiling. To
learn as a child is Organic. It is natural and
instinctive. For a child, every experience is an
opportunity to learn how to be confident, competent
humans. Children, must be provided the opportunity to
learn naturally, organically. The incorporation of the
arts, music, science, mathematics and language, cooking
and nurturing provides our children with an empowered
relationship with the world around them.
By creating a curriculum that focuses on exploration,
discovery and exciting adventures, children are
psychologically prepared to learn as they learn best . . .
by the joy of experience itself. Within this unique
curriculum that recognizes the learning capabilities and
requirements of the child genius, we ensure that each
child and their parents are prepared to exceed the social
and academic requirements for his or her education.
We incorporate valuable lessons into every experience.
Every experience – no matter how insignificant to adults –
is an opportunity to acquire mathematical, logic,
communication, artistic, musical and social skills.
Although children need a predictable routine – everything,
including this must be designed to be flexible according
to the individual child’s needs while providing for the
overall well being of the group. Above all, a child must
be a child!
As our most precious gifts, our children must be loved,
nurtured and challenged in a way that builds a strong
self-image and engenders self-esteem through
accomplishment and self-recognition. When we perform our
tasks properly, teachers establish relationships with the
children in our care that make “our” children feel safe,
secure and confident in our love for them – which is
essential to every child’s well being
We are building both the child’s and parent’s desire to
learn for the sake of learning, thus elevating our
standards for education itself. A deeply instilled
knowledge of the value of life and highly developed social
and leadership skills are irreplaceable. At Community
Preschools, our desire is for your child to develop and
maintain a strong sense of self, and love for life, self
and others. By incorporating a strong sense of family and
the child-teacher relationship - both at home and during
their time here – together, we can create a foundation
that will ensure that our children are prepared to thrive
as confident, intelligent, socially aware leaders of
society.
Remember that your child is always an important member in
our program. With that in mind, you as a parent are the
first and most powerful teacher in their lives. With your
help, we will embark on an adventure whose challenges,
experiences and joyous accomplishments will last a
lifetime!
