Creative Beginnings Preschool is a child development preschool
which provides a loving, caring, supportive environment for
young children, meeting them at their present levels of growth
and maturity, and encouraging them in their physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual, and social development. We believe that
it is important that children develop a strong sense of self-worth
and self-confidence so that they can relate to their peer
group and assume a sense of responsibility. By building a
positive experience, it is our belief that children will grow
to adulthood confident in their ability to influence, constructively
and creatively, the social and physical environment around
them. Play is the primary way in which children learn. We
contribute to this learning in the following ways.
- Language Experiences will develop the children's
use of the English language, increase their vocabulary,
and ultimately give them a delight in the use of words.
- Science Experiences will develop the children's
sense of spatial and numerical relationships, involve them
in the wonder of natural growth and increase their interest
in the physical world around them. It will give them an
elementary sense of cause and effect and develop their own
ability to influence and affect the world around them.
- Creative Experiences in music, art, poetry, drama,
and dance will stimulate their artistic skills by working
with their natural abilities to see, hear, taste, touch,
and smell. As these skills develop, the children will expand
their creativity and grow in appreciation of the arts.
- Physical Experiences both inside and out, are planned
to develop small and large motor coordination skills. Daily
involvement in a variety of physical activities will release
the children's natural tensions, develop their muscles,
and give them a sense of accomplishment in the mastering
of body skills.
- Spiritual Experiences will provide opportunities
for children to feel a sense of wonder as they discover
the world God made.
- Social Experiences in sharing toys, and people
will help the children to find constructive ways for dealing
with their anger, joy, frustration, happiness, disappointment
and wonder. Such experiences will also support their relationships
among other people in different environments.
