Our Philosophy
Jesus is the role model for the Preschool in order that we may teach as Jesus did and interact with the students, parents and faculty in a manner which demonstrates our love of God and one another. The Preschool provides a safe, loving and organized educational environment of play, guided exploration and hands-on activities appropriate to each child's needs. Our environment will provide success in communication, social skills, creativity, thinking skills and fine and gross motor development. The Preschool establishes a positive introduction to learning in a school setting. The faculty respects the dignity and needs of the whole child.
Montessori Method
-
Human Development doesn't occur in a steady linear ascent but in a series of formativer planes.
-
The complete development of human beings is made possible by their tendencies to certain universal
actions in relations to their own environment.
-
Interaction with the environment is most productive in terms of individua;'s development when it
is self-choice and founded upon individual interest.
