Philosophy
The Lanesville Preschool Center offers a unique program for young children in a warm, nurturing, and enriching environment. Young children learn best in a supportive and play-oriented setting. We provide a large variety of concrete experiences to help children master social, physical, and cognitive skills. Our concern is for each child’s total development and we understand that all children do not develop at the same rate. We strive to recognize and foster individual strengths within the areas of social, emotional, and intellectual growth. At Lanesville Preschool Center special attention is given to individual areas of need.
Goals
Helping the child develop:
Lanesville Preschool encourages acceptance and tolerance and draws on the different experiences available to children of many ages. In the school's nurturing environment, each activity is designed within the context of play to reach all levels of learning, from the initial exposure of a particular skill through to its mastery. Our program is designed to give each child the opportunity to participate to the best of their ability in each activity and social setting. This play-based approach allows children to learn and refine skills in a developmentally appropriate way.
