Emmanuel Preschool
Our Philosophy
Founded in 1968, Emmanuel Preschool offers a play-based, developmentally appropriate, and enriching education for pre-school aged children. We value the spirit of every individual child and provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn through play, take risks, and become inspired life-long thinkers and learners. At our core, we want to present meaningful experiences for children where they feel confident, and self-assured and develop a strong sense of self.
​
Our beliefs and goals are to:​
Promote social and
emotional growth
Encourage and help children practice specific socials skills such as learning to be part of a group through taking turns and sharing, learning to respect oneself, others, and property, and learning to take responsibility for oneself
Fostering curiosity about the world through hands-on activities including sand and water, sensory table exploration, nature discovery, cooking, and open-ended art activities
Foster children’s cognitive development
