PHILOSOPHY
Basic Beginnings Pre-School
recognizes that young children learn through active involvement with their
environment. This involvement provides for the growth and development
of the child, physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally. To
nurture this development in a relaxed setting requires time. We
believe implementation of this philosophy will provide children the time to
experience their childhood.
We believe a developmentally
appropriate program will provide children more time and opportunity:
- To learn respect for oneself,
as well as others
- To grow in decision-making,
problem-solving and creative thinking
- To learn to maintain physical
health and well-being, including nutrition and the need for both activity
and rest
- To help the child develop
intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally at his/her own level
of ability and readiness.
- To develop self-motivation,
self-discipline, and self-direction towards purposeful activities
- To foster a curiosity and
enthusiasm for learning
- To interact in guided and
informal play experiences
