Our Philosophy

We at Miss Joan’s Little School believe that a preschool, in order to promote the development of a positive self-image in a child, should provide a safe environment with loving and concerned personnel.  The school should provide stimulating experiences to help a child grow physically, cognitively, emotionally, and creatively, according to one’s individual needs and stage of development.

The atmosphere here is one of love and acceptance, informality and relaxation, with an appropriate balance of structure and self-initiated activities to meet the needs of the young child.

What Preschool Means to a Child

Preschool is order, but not conformity….It is feelings, sharing, and learning.

Preschool is a “home away from home” to the little child, and to try is the important aim and to fall is merely an incentive to try again, with no lasting sense of failure.
