Philosophy
and Purpose
|
| It is the philosophy of the Good Shepherd Nursery School that the pre-school
years are extremely important in the life of the young child. These are the
years when language is mastered, independence is growing, and first friendships
are made. It is during these years that the most rapid and dramatic changes
take place in physical skills and thinking abilities.
Our main goal is to provide a sound foundation for future learning through a
variety of worthwhile experiences that will promote the development of the
five selves: social, emotional, creative, cognitive, and physical. We seek to accomplish this
from a Christian perspective through a loving and caring staff.
Among the skills that the child needs to develop are motor skills, eye and hand
coordination, language (listening, understanding, expressing), self-awareness
and control, and group awareness and appreciation. The materials and activities made available to our children are stimulating and developmentally
appropriate. The staff carefully monitors each child's overall development, and
individualized curriculum planning provides for his or her specific needs.
Children join other 3 to 5 year olds participating in block-building, art, sand
and water play, simple science experiments, music, dramatic play, caring for
pets, creative movement, working with puzzles and learning games, cooking and much more. We believe that these experiences nurture growth and
development in young children. The regular daily routine includes both active
and quiet times and activities for groups as well as for individuals.
To summarize, we anticipate that as a result of varied experiences and child to
child interactions, children will relate to adults and peers more easily,
expression and sensing of their feelings will be enhanced, body awareness and movement skills will improve, language and vocabulary will be expanded, and
thinking skills and general knowledge will increase.
In addition, we hope to provide opportunities for parents to grow in the
understanding of child development and we strive to help meet the needs of the community for early childhood education. |
