Our Mission
The mission of Children’s Way Preschool is to supplement early home experiences in a warm, loving, healthy and safe environment as well as to develop a strong, positive self-concept through interaction with peers and supportive adults. We teach and model positive self-image, individuality, independence and respect of others. Children are offered the opportunity to grow and develop socially, emotionally, spiritually, cognitively and physically.
Our Staff
Preschool teachers and staff are early childhood professionals who enjoy young children and are experienced in providing a warm and loving educational environment.
Staff/Student Ratios
We maintain a 1:9, or lower, ratio in the classrooms, which exceeds state and national standards.
