“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.” – Mr. Rogers
February – the month when we are surrounded by hearts wherever we go! Love is at the center of our world here at Great Expectations. At the beginning of the school year when we are getting to know each other, making new friends, connecting with old friends and some children are entering preschool for the first time – what is important?
Connecting with each and every child, making sure they feel seen, feel safe, a teacher is looking out for them and feeling loved by person(s) outside the home. Fast forward February and you walk into any classroom and love is in the air!
Children are busy playing, engaging with each other and with the teachers. There is a general feeling of love around us. How lucky are we!
The super cold weather has limited our time outside, yet each classroom rallied and adjusted their schedules to facilitate lots of indoor movement. I am thankful for the creative group of educators in our school and their innovative approach to young children. We relish our outdoor time and the learning that is happening all the time. We are lucky to live where we do as we get to experience all the seasons!
We believe children are natural scientists with a deep curiosity and desire to investigate and learn about the world around them. A play-based curriculum provides experiential explorations in art, nature, science, sensory materials, cooking, music, dramatics, and early literacy and mathematics.
The development of a positive self concept is of prime importance, since feeling good about oneself has a direct impact on the skill-building and socialization process. The child’s burgeoning independence and sense of self is nurtured in this supportive environment.
