The Park Preschool has two classrooms that are composed of mixed age groups of children who are 2 through 3.8 year olds and another class of Pre-Kindergarten four year olds, who learn how to care, help, work, play and cooperate with each other. The teachers at The Park Preschool foster each child’s independent thinking skills and thus help the children become self-confident as they become sensitive to the world around them.
The teachers give them freedom, let them try, let them fail, encourage them, let them succeed, and rejoice with them! At The Park Preschool a child can be a child, the learning process happens naturally. Like Piaget, the teachers here believe that children “think by doing.” At The Park Preschool children learn by playing. Play is their work.
Park Preschool encourages the involvement of the family unit in school. On occasion, a family member can be found cooking, reading or teaching a special class to the children. This type of commitment on the part of the families is wonderful. It promotes open communication between the families and the teachers and is essential to our school’s continuous development.
