OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT THE UPWARD MOVEMENT OF THE CHILD AS AN INDEPENDENT LEARNER. WE BELIEVE THAT PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MERE CONTENT MASTERY. OUR MAIN GOAL IS FOR THE CHILDREN TO BECOME PROBLEM SOLVERS. AND WE BELIEVE THE BEST WAY FOR CHILDREN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IS THROUGH PLAY. OUR CHILDRENS PLAY IS SUPPORTED BY A PLAY-BASED CURRICULUM AND A DAILY ROUTINE/SCHEDULE. OUR ACTIVITIES PROVIDE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT ARE NOT ONLY AGE APPROPRIATE, BUT ALSO INDIVIDUALLY APPROPRIATE. WE OFFER VARIED SCHOOL EXPERIENCES SUCH AS LARGE AND SMALL MOTOR DEVELOPMENT, CREATIVE ART, MUSIC, DRAMATIC PLAY, SCIENCE, COOKING/NUTRITION AND FIELD TRIPS INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE CHILDREN ALSO LEARN BY OBSERVING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY INTERACT WITH VARIOUS MATERIALS, THEIR FELLOW CLASSMATES, AND WITH THE CARING STAFF (THE PARENTS) AND THE TEACHER/DIRECTOR. BECAUSE PARENTS PARTICIPATE/WORK ON A ROTATING BASIS AT SCHOOL, CHILDREN LEARN TO ACCEPT AND TRUST OTHER ADULTS. WE SEEK TO ENSURE THAT THE FIRST SCHOOL EXPERIENCE IS POSITIVE AND REWARDING NOT ONLY FOR THE CHILD, BUT FOR THE PARENTS AS WELL. 113359 113359 VANEETA SPITZER-WILLIAMS PRESIDENT 10.00 0 SAMANTHA DUPRAY SECRETARY 5.00 0 KATHERINE CORIO TREASURER 8.00 0 CATE RILLA TREASURER 5.00 0 STUART JACKSON JR VP 5.00 0 CONNIE IVERSON SR VP 5.00 0 false false false false false false false false false CA AIMEE PEREIRA 5119 COLORADO ST LONG BEACH CA 90814 5624984663 false false false false false false false false false true false NONE NONE true X true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true SCHEDULE E, LINE 3 THE WEBSITE OF THE ORGANIZATION DESCRIBES THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS: FIRST YEAR STUDENTS MUST BE 3 YEARS OLD BY SEPTEMBER 2ND.
