Stratford Preschool's philosophy is to view each child as an individual and to help each child reach his/her full potential as a caring, giving and loving citizen of the world.
The school's purpose is to promote development of the young child, ages two and a half to six years, mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally, through co-operative efforts of teachers, family members and others who are positioned to nurture, stimulate and encourage the child.
Spread throughout the year, each class studies various age
appropriate themes: seasons of the year, weather, plants, insects,
birds, animals, family, transportation, etc. The teachers
incorporate art, music and educational materials into each thematic
unit. For example the three-year-olds studying the farm, learn the
names and habits of farm animals and common activities of farm
life, learn that flour comes from wheat and is used in the bread we
bake. They churn milk to make butter, then spread it on crackers
and eat. American and European farm sets and farm related puzzles
and puppets are available for free play during this period. Parents
may help with in-school activities and reinforce learning at home
by reviewing new vocabulary. In addition, the children are
introduced to classical children`s literature. They paint at
easels, use stencils, water colors, tempera, chalk and even shoe
polish to create beautiful masterpieces. The director works with
classroom teachers and with the children, individually, to ensure
that each child`s developmental needs are met. Parents are
encouraged to discuss their concerns with a teacher, or with the
director, so that small matters, whether educational or
administrative, may yield to minor adjustments, not grow into major
problems. Success of the program-yours and ours-depends upon the
faculty of well-educated, warm and loving teachers, who in
cooperation with the parents are committed to giving each child the
joy of learning and the foundational skills for a lifetime of
achievement. Students enjoy Spanish, French, German and
Chinese classes each week and music classes twice a week.
Computers, dance, taikwondo, pottery, yoga and soccer shots are
also available classes for students .
Before school, (starting at 8am) and after school (ending at 6
pm) are also available.
