• To provide a nurturing environment where self concepts are enhanced, independence encouraged, social skills acquired and individuality respected.
• To provide children with opportunities to gain competence in a variety of skills such as; art, science, music, movement, and language arts, through hands-on experiences.
• To provide an atmosphere that promotes respect for each other.
• To develop in the child, an active curiosity about the world in which they live and an enthusiasm for learning.

At Growing Years Preschool, we believe that each child’s development should be an even and well balanced progression that allows success socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and creatively.

We believe that it is the process not the product which is most important. Learning and development occur within a process and are not sought directly as a goal, but as a journey of discovery.

We believe that play is the most important tool to assess a child’s development. Through play we can observe a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, creative and physical selves.

We believe that children learn best through hands-on, interactive experiences, therefore our curriculum is based on child interests and our classrooms are set up to promote exploration.

We believe that a positive preschool experience filled with love, respect, friends, play, praise, confidence, imagination, acknowledgment, playdough, dancing, tricycles, singing, blocks, hugs, stories, exploration, creativity, fun independence, laughter, painting, science, cooking and games, is the foundation for a life-long love of learning!

The children in our program are divided into small groups according to age. Our preschool classroom(s) are for children 2 – 4 years old. Our Pre-K classroom(s) are designed for ages 4 – 5 years old. Children must be 4 years old by September 1^st to be eligible for our Pre-K class.

We have a teacher/child ratio of 1/10, sometimes 2/16.  Group size may vary on any given day.
