Welcome to the blog of Whole Child Preschool!
My name is Stephanie and I am the owner and teacher at Whole Child Preschool. Let me tell you a little about my philosophy.
The Whole Child
Each child at Whole Child Preschool is treated as an exceptional individual with specific needs, learning styles, and abilities.
Children will excel while participating in cognitive-intellectual lessons, ·exploring creative-intuitive activities, enjoying structured physical movement and self-directed play, engaging with nature and their community, and developing emotional soundness.
Nurturing the whole child builds self-esteem, confidence, self-reliance, and helps children become independent and creative thinkers.
Children can touch, explore, create, and learn, while enveloped in an environment meticulously prepared for their discovery.
While every child benefits from some structure and unavoidable rules, you will not find Whole Child Preschool children sitting for long lessons in letter identification and the meaning of addition. The children do learn these things, but do so while actively engaged in creative lessons.
The Can-Can
Children at Whole Child Preschool take charge and become leaders of their own educational experiences. Children’s interests and idea’s are pursued with a very prominent ‘You Can!’ attitude.
Children come home exhilarated and excited to share what they’ve discovered in our ‘Can, Can’ preschool!
Whole Child Preschool believes that exciting, and innovative activities are the key to igniting the passion of learning in young children.
Experiential learning encourages children to jump in with both feet and experience concepts with all five senses.
Experiential Learning
At Whole Child Preschool, children are taught from the inside out! Instead of having information thrown at them, ideas and concepts are formed within their own curiosity, and then actively explored in all ways possible.
It’s easy to look at a picture of a sprout and discuss it in a science lesson. But it’s meaningful to put our hands in the dirt, grow a seed into a sprout ourselves, chart, diagram, and dissect it, smell it, taste it, and reflect on what we’ve learned about it.
Meaningful interactions are the ones children will remember, and the ones they will receive at Whole Child Preschool.
