Children's Circle Nursery School was founded in 1975 to unite children, parents, and staff in a community-based nursery school. For more than four decades, the school has integrated children from many different ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds.
Its goals revolve around the concepts of progressive and developmental education.
Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers learn best, we believe, by
doing, rather than by being shown or told. We do not so much
"teach" them as help them to learn. Children of this age thrive in
an environment in which they can explore and experience a wide
variety of age-appropriate activities, real materials, and people
that are challenging and stimulating at their level of development.
Whether it is painting, climbing up a ramp, working with play
dough, or building with blocks, a child in the first five years is
involved with the process of the activity the doing of it, the
experiencing of it.
Children`s Circle endeavors to provide a setting that is
inviting, safe, and child-oriented. This environment allows the
child to learn about themselves and their world, to make decisions,
and to gain competence backed by a maximum of support and a minimum
of interference from adults. We seek to provide materials,
challenges, and guidance that are appropriate to the child`s level
of development in all areas. One of the most basic yet important
lessons a child will learn at the school is that they can be cared
for and cared about in a new setting outside their previous
experience. We think that this sense of comfort and security
supports all other learning.
