Program Goals

​

Basic program goals have been developed to promote the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of each child.  The goals have been developed based on the philosophy that each child is a unique individual with a variety of interests, needs and abilities.  Through daily activities each child will learn of his or her own self worth, while also learning the importance of others and respecting their rights and values. Using the program goals as the framework to develop the curriculum and the needs of the individual child as the focus for the curriculum, the teacher is responsible for writing the implementation of lesson plans to guide their daily activities.  

 

​

               These plans must include:

 

A balance of quiet and active activities.

A balance of child initiated and teacher directed activities.

A variety of activities that motivate children to explore and learn through their play.

A regular balance of sensory activities; art, science, music, large motor, math readiness, field trips, cooking, group activities,             dramatic play, small motor and language development.
