Interested in Learning More About the Neighborhood Play School Preschool?

At the Neighborhood Play School, we believe…

…that all students are unique. It is our passion to work with student’s individual needs in a safe and supportive manner.

…in a classroom environment that is welcoming, loving, and stimulating. In this type of environment, students are able to express their emotions, remain engaged, challenge themselves, and overcome obstacles.

…in creating community in classrooms, partnerships with families, and collegiality amongst staff. The Reggio Emilia, a specific play-based philosophy, believes that schools, teachers, parents, and children are co-constructors of knowledge and have equal collaboration.

…children learn best through play. When in an intentional, scaffolded, developmentally appropriate play-based teaching model, students have opportunities to engage and create freely, explore concept understanding, and discuss their thoughts with peers and educators.

…in an educational environment that focuses on the whole child, specifically their social and emotional development. Students should have opportunities to make responsible choices, develop self-awareness and self-management, initiate their own learning, solve social conflicts and build self-esteem.
