Philosophy
Valley Parent’s curriculum is an emergent one, based on a developmental approach to learning. Our program focuses on the whole child and provides opportunities for children to enhance their emotional, social, creative, physical and cognitive growth. We believe children are natural learners, motivated by their own desire to understand their world through first-hand experiences. Our school is designed to provide an environment and activities that encourage curiosity and foster exploration.
We believe play is the primary method through which children learn. Our schedule allows for long periods of open play as well as more structured small group experiences. Regular activities include games, storytelling, singing, dancing, small and large motor activities, process oriented art, hands-on science experiments, cooking, gardening, building, creating and exploring.
As a cooperative school, we believe the family is the most influential teacher in a child¹s life and we feel privileged to partner alongside you. Parent involvement is crucial to the success of our program and we look forward to working together!
