Description: Welcome to the Clarendon Elementary School Preschool and Pre-K Program! We are very excited to have your child and your family with us. We strive to provide a preschool opportunity that is positive and inviting for children. We work hard to create a learning environment that is exciting and engaging. The Early Education teacher, classroom para-educators and the Early Childhood Special Educator (ECSE) will provide your child with a consistent, safe, and fun learning experience in a play-based environment. Our program philosophy is that each child enters our classroom with unique needs and abilities because each of them has their own experiences and backgrounds. The preschool aged child is naturally explorative and eager to learn. It is the role of the teachers to provide opportunities for growth and stimulation in all areas of development. The preschool curriculum is a combination of play-based and education-based learning. Through play and interaction with materials and peers children learn important social and emotional skills that prepare them for future learning. Play is both meaningful and necessary. It is the role of teachers and staff to serve as models, initiators and observers of learning. Teaching staff needs to be aware and sensitive to the daily emotional and intellectual needs of each child and create and environment where children feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to experiment, explore, and develop the types of learning styles that work best for them. Ultimately, the success of each child will build a positive sense of self and a confidence that will serve as the child's foundation for future learning and growth.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
