Our Philosophy and Objectives

Our program follows the Child-Development Model. It is an activity program which takes place in several different areas, such as music, blocks, arts, science, large muscle, dramatic play, and the home area. The children learn by being actively involved in activities.

The main objective of our program is to encourage and support the development of the individual, and to provide opportunities for self exploration and discovery. Since children are active and curious, it is our goal to provide learning experiences designed to stimulate the child's creative learning abilities.

The overall development (cognitive, social, emotional, physical) of the child is considered and planned for through a variety of activities. It is our objective to learn the needs of the individuals in our program and to plan for the successful fulfillment of these needs. Positive development of the child's image of self is of prime importance in the program and is a priority in all aspects of program planning.

Since pre-school has become almost a prerequisite to public school, we try to make the atmosphere one of warmth and love so that the experience our children have during the first years in school is a positive one.

Computertots

Don't let your child miss out on the fun! Computertots is a service that comes to Carousel once a week to teach children basic computer skills. Children get an introduction to computers through interactive educational computer programs in small groups of three to four children. Only children three or over please!

The school has a fenced-in astroturf playground for children to use during free play (weather permitting). The children can slide, climb, or play with other outside equipment. It's lots of fun for everyone!
