Swing Set Philosophy

Realizing that the preschool years are crucially formative and impressionable years, our goal is to provide a warm, happy and enriching environment in which each child will be accepted and respected with love, as a whole and unique individual in God's world.

Our aim is to facilitate the development of the "whole" child; to offer opportunities to develop healthy social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills through a balanced curriculum of age appropriate activities and play. We shall also provide important spiritual foundation on which each child can build for life; foundations that will encourage the development of love, trust, faith in God and the world.

Because we recognize that each child is an individual with a unique learning style, each child will be encouraged to grow and learn at his or her own rate and through a balance of teacher directed activities and activities of his or her own choice.

We acknowledge and respect that a child's most meaningful preschool experience occurs when teachers and parents work together as a team. Therefore, we welcome and encourage the participation of parents in the classroom as well as the expression of their questions and concerns.
