PRESCHOOL/CHILDCARE
PHILOSOPHY
AND OBJECTIVES
 "Education
means more than the pursual of a
specific course of study. It has
to do with the whole being. It is
the harmonious development of the
physical, mental, social, and spiritual
powers. True education trains youth
to be thinkers, and prepares the
child for a life of service."
(White, 1904)
The Preschool/Child Care objectives
include:
- To provide a safe, nurturing
environment where children can
develop
- To provide a "home-like"
setting where children can play
and "work"
- To teach each child so he/she
may experience challenge and success
- To encourage each student to
develop self-care skills, and
self-responsibility
- To stimulate each student to
think, reason, and problem solve
- To prepare students for living,
with emphasis on development of
independent living skills
- To provide opportunity and activities
for development of physical skills
