The ambition of Cornerstone Preschool is to facilitate the development of successful, competent, and unique learning foundations for its children through developmentally appropriate experiences in a rich, stimulating environment. This is achieved through self-directed play and hands-on exploration in an environment prepared based on the needs, interests, abilities, and cultures of the families involved. Children gain respect, responsibility, and curiosity through experiences within the environment. Children’s social, cognitive, physical, and emotional skills are enhanced through daily peer & educator interactions and strong partnerships with families as well as the Russell community.
