CLAREMONT CHIDREN'S SCHOOL |
The long-range goals of Claremont Children's School are the positive growth
of the whole child; the development of abilities, interests, attitudes
and values that will continue to evolve over a lifetime; and the preparation
of children for the transition to kindergarten. Our daily activities
support these goals by providing a stimulating learning environment
that will encourage cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth.
We
believe that the following principles define Claremont's philosophy: |
- A
good preschool provides a warm and secure environment for
children, parents and staff.
- The
whole child develops best in a non-competitive atmosphere
of caring, respect and mutuality.
- Optimum
development occurs when children are actively engaged in experimenting
and exploring in a challenging and stimulating educational
and social environment.
- Children
develop the skills needed for future academic success in an
enriched learning environment.
- Play
is an important method to help children understand and come
to terms with the world.
- Children
profit from activities directed by adults as well as benefiting
from time for privacy and quiet.
Our
goal is to provide an atmosphere that: |
- Creates
a sense of community
- Encourages participation
- Is
organized so that children can function independently and
confidently with ease and comfort
- Offers
room for individual and group activities.
Claremont Children's School is a member
of the Association of Teachers of Independent Schools, the Parent's
League of New York, and the Educational Records Bureau.
