Philosophy
At Little Treasures we believe that all children can learn! Little Treasures celebrates each child’s unique abilities and cultures. Each day children learn valuable life skills through movement, songs and active engaging learning experiences. Our curriculum is play-based and student-centered to help students reach their full potential and develop critical thinking skills. Students plan and recall their daily experiences. Routines are modeled to set students up for success. Children develop social and emotional skills by working with others, expressing feelings appropriately and taking turns. The curriculum is differentiated to incorporate different learning styles and student interests. Students begin each day with a positive mindset in a nurturing environment. Students learn the importance of being open-minded, caring and respectful people in the world around them. We work closely and communicate with parents to create a successful school year.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide excellent high-quality care that is developmentally appropriate. Each child is special and unique and has their own strengths. Students will learn in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment that provides opportunities for growth. Children will learn social and emotional skills, how to respect others, and construct their own knowledge through play.
Each day 6 month-6 year old students will participate in various learning experiences. Students will work in groups and develop character and social skills. Students will work on activities that are student-led. They will learn in a variety of play based methods. Music and movement activities are incorporated into the daily activities. They will have a rest time each afternoon. There will be daily opportunities for literacy, math, science, social studies and social skills experiences. Students will work in centers and small groups to develop critical thinking skills. They will have quiet time to read and learn as well as creative crafts and projects. Activities will be based on the HighScope curriculum and monthly theme.
