Footsteps & Fingerprints

We believe that children are our most important resource. We believe that each child is a unique individual, worthy of love, respect, and guidance. We believe that each child can be challenged and encouraged to grow to its fullest potential in an atmosphere of joy and love of learning. We dedicate ourselves to the achievement of these goals by providing for children the finest in early childhood education.

It is the philosophy of Footsteps & Fingerprints that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration, and discovery. Children are creative and receptive; the staff strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend. The preschool’s purpose is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth and development of the child as a whole.

Planned within the framework of philosophy and purpose, Footsteps & Fingerprints curriculum includes sharing and conversation time; stories, songs, and fingerplays; creative art crafts; games and large muscle activities; field trips throughout the community; food preparation; science and nature activities; early computer education; exposure to shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and thematic units; and celebration of life.

Through active exploration and involvement in centers using thematic units, the children will learn and progress at their own level of development in an environment designed to facilitate learning in a natural way. Children will learn through their own joy of discovery.
