Our Philosophy

WE BELIEVE:

That to promote wholesome growth, good physical care should provide:
  • the stimulation of active play
  • sufficient quantities of rest
  • a safe place to run and climb and yell
  • watchfulness against accidents
  • protection against communicable diseases
That to assure good mental hygiene, boys & girls need:
  • feelings of belonging
  • success and praise
  • friendliness
  • a chance to take part in group activities
That children also need:
  • control and discipline
  • affection and approval
  • steadiness and consistency
  • respect from adults so children can develop the same respect for themselves and others

That school should provide a rich environment so that the children share in all that good teaching can mean:
 


 

  • a variety of toys, playmates and games
  • the stimulation of books, pets, music, painting, excursions and science at the child's level
  • the challenge of equipment and companionship under the guidance of informed adults who make experiences meaningful and fun
  • help and support in building constructive relationships with other children
That the newer ways of dealing with children hold real promise of producing a new generation healthier, happier, and more creative than before. Thus we attempt to apply a discipline which is characterized by:
  • gentleness and warm affection
  • non-coerciveness
  • simple rules, benevolently enforced
  • outlets for strong feelings, with protection for others and for the child himself from the
    consequences of these feelings
That there are three basic areas in which a child consistently and lovingly needs discipline. They are:
  • when a child is doing something to injure himself
  • when a child is doing something to hurt someone else
  • when a child is destroying property
