The Younger Years Preschool & Daycare Philosophy


The Younger Years Preschool & Daycare believes that the early years of learning are the most valuable. We will encourage each child to explore, experiment, and develop skills at his/her own level of ability.

  • through long blocks of uninterrupted play.
  • with opportunities to explore both outdoors and indoors.
  • with a caring, respectful relationship with peers and adults.
  • in an atmosphere which celebrates the joys of everyday life.

     

Goals of The Younger Years Preschool & Daycare

  • To provide an environment that promotes active exploration and interaction with materials, other children and adults.

  • To provide learning activities and materials that are concrete, real and meaningful to the lives of young children.

  • To foster self-esteem through relationships with adults who express acceptance and respect for all children.

  • To recognize that all children are different and to allow such differences to surface in daily activities.

  • To allow outlets for the expression of each child's individual creative potential.

  • To create an environment that allows children to utilize problem-solving techniques with peers and adults in social situations with guidance and supervision as needed.
