Dear Collective Families, Current and Past!
I hope this message finds you all well.
I’m writing to be sure you all know that our annual Open House will take place on Saturday, December 5, from 10am-1pm. If you have any friends, family, colleagues, neighbors who are looking for a preschool/child care center for next year, we would be very appreciative if you could spread the word. Also, if you belong to any neighborhood listservs, it would help us very much if you could post an announcement about the Open House and applications. For your convenience, here’s a blurb (below) that you can use.
Thanks for your help – and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Martha

How We Teach
*We support a child’s natural curiosity and joy of discovery by creating a nurturing learning environment where children feel comfortable to explore and make sense of the world around them.
*Our curriculum addresses the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical needs of the child.
*The low student-teacher ratio gives each child the opportunity to develop warm and trusting relationships with his or her teachers.
*Our experienced teachers are sensitive to the developmental issues of young children and to their needs within a group setting. They provide children the individual attention needed to make a secure and healthy separation from home and allow them to progress in accord with their own developmental pace, learning style, and temperament.
*Our goal is to help each child develop a sense of him or herself as a competent and confident person, someone whose feelings, capacities, and interests are validated, respected, and encouraged to grow.
