Our Philosophy
At Circle of Children Preschool, we believe that childhood is a magical time of wonder, discovery, and boundless potential. Our high-quality educational programming is designed to ignite curiosity and fuel a lifelong love of learning through one fundamental truth: children learn best through play.
Play is the Work of Childhood
Every day, children embark on adventures that might look like "just playing" to the outside world, but we know better. When children build with blocks, they're exploring engineering and spatial relationships. When they engage in dramatic play, they're developing empathy and language skills. When they dig in our sandbox, they're becoming scientists and mathematicians.
Growing the Whole Child
We nurture every aspect of your child's development:
Emotionally, we create a safe space where feelings are validated and children learn to navigate their inner world with confidence.
Socially, we foster genuine friendships and teach the art of collaboration, conflict resolution, and community building.
Physically, we honor children's need to move, providing both energetic outdoor adventures and fine motor challenges that prepare little hands for writing and creating.
Intellectually, we follow each child's natural curiosity, allowing their questions to guide rich explorations in science, literacy, math, and the arts.
Creatively, we provide endless opportunities for self-expression through art, music, storytelling, and imaginative play.
Developmentally Responsive Learning
No two children are alike, and our approach honors this beautiful diversity. We meet each child exactly where they are, guiding them on their own unique learning journey. Our passionate teachers provide challenges that stretch their thinking without overwhelming their spirits, giving every child the freedom to explore, learn at their own pace, and discover their unique potential. Our curriculum emerges from children's interests and the world around us – whether that's a fascination with dinosaurs, the changing seasons, or the construction happening across the street.
Joyful Learning Community
We create an environment that is both nurturing and inspiring, where learning is joyful and every child feels valued. In our classrooms, mistakes are celebrated as learning opportunities, questions are treasured, and every child's unique perspective adds richness to our community.
Our teachers are skilled observers and facilitators, creating environments where children feel empowered to take risks, make discoveries, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We partner with families to ensure that each child's home culture and values are reflected and celebrated in our program.
Preparing for Life's Journey
Our program goes far beyond kindergarten readiness. We're cultivating the essential life skills that will serve your child through elementary school, high school, college, and into their professional lives.
Social Intelligence forms the cornerstone of success in any endeavor. Through daily interactions, collaborative projects, and guided conflict resolution, children develop emotional intelligence, empathy, and the ability to build meaningful relationships – skills that will benefit them in every classroom, workplace, and community they'll ever be part of.
Leadership Development happens naturally as children learn to advocate for their ideas, guide group projects, and support their peers. We encourage every child to find their voice, take initiative, and develop the confidence to contribute meaningfully to any group.
Lifelong Learning is perhaps our greatest gift to your child. By fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and resilience, we're creating learners who will adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world. The child who asks "Why do leaves change color?" today becomes the adult who approaches challenges with wonder and determination tomorrow.
Character Foundation – Through our daily interactions and community experiences, children develop integrity, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility that will guide their choices throughout life.
Building Tomorrow's Leaders
Every block tower built, every story told, every friendship formed is laying the foundation not just for academic success, but for a fulfilling, meaningful life. We're nurturing the innovators, problem-solvers, and compassionate leaders our world needs.
Welcome to Circle of Children Preschool, where every day is an opportunity to discover something wonderful about the world and about themselves – and to build the skills that will last a lifetime.
