Valley Parent Preschoolıs curriculum is an emergent
one, based on a developmental approach to learning. Our program focuses
on the whole child and provides opportunities for children to enhance
their emotional, social, creative, physical and cognitive growth.
Children are natural learners,
motivated by their own desire to understand their world through
first-hand experiences. Our school is designed to provide an environment
and activities that encourage curiosity and foster exploration.
We believe play is the primary
method through which children learn. Our schedule allows for long
periods of open play as well as more structured small group experiences.
Regular activities include games, storytelling, singing, dancing, small
and large motor activities, process oriented art, hands-on science
experiments, cooking, gardening, building, creating and exploring.
Valley Parent is a cooperative
school. We believe the family is the most influential teacher in a
childıs life and we feel privileged to partner alongside you. Parent
involvement is crucial to the success of our program and we look forward
to working together. |
