L.E.S.D. #79 - Scott Libby - Early Child Education

The Liberty School District Early Childhood Program will provide enriching, developmentally appropriate experiences for young children, empower and support families as partners in education, and collaborate with the community in providing services to these children and their families. Diversity is valued and encouraged. Students with special needs are integrated with peer models as all children learn from one another.

Goals:
1. We strive to build a bridge between school and home by supporting parents as
the childs first teachers through home visits, classroom modeling, blending
programs and offering of comprehensive services (health and developmental
screening, lending library, parenting classes, home visits, etc.) (Objective 5)
2. Ensure high-quality environments (inside and outside) through the use of best
practices, research and early childhood standards. (Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)
3. We strive to individualize instruction and serve as a guide and facilitator for
learning. (Objectives 3, 4, and 5)
