Preschool in Oakham, MA 01068
Our goal is to provide a warm and stimulating environment to nurture the development of the student to her/his fullest potential. Our children are treated with respect and dignity; their self-esteem as individuals is a paramount concern. We place great emphasis on learning by doing and we value all aspects of a child’s work. By stressing process rather than products in the child’s work, we enhance feelings of competence and self worth. Freedom of choice in a well-defined structure characterizes our classes. The development of independence of thought and action is the result of activity guided by caring adults who act as links to the educational materials.
