Our Philosophy
During the preschool years, children learn from appropriately modeled behavior and from concrete experiences. Children learn through play and active exploration, not through drills, rote memorization, or workbooks. The Rosedale Preschool uses the Creative Curriculum to help teachers organize developmentally appropriate classroom experiences for children ages 18 months to 5 years. Our Classrooms are arranged with learning centers including blocks, dramatic play, art, music, science, math, reading and writing.
Our teachers view the child as strong and competent. The environment is warm, safe, and joyful. We believe that parents and educators have the responsibility to provide the child with an environment that enables preschool development, builds problem-solving skills, and fosters wise choices.
The role of the family is of primary importance in influencing the development of young children. We seek to protect and enhance this role through support and encouragement of the family and through family involvement in our program.
