About Creative Beginnings Pre-School, Kindergarten & Day Care

 

Purpose

We strive to give the young child the opportunity to develop mentally, emotionally, physically and socially. Through directed play in our school setting, the child is able to learn and develop skills at his or her own rate.

 

Philosophy

Creative Beginnings uses discovery, creativity and positive reinforcement to teach children. We provide the materials and creative experiences necessary to guide the child in his or her discovery. Concepts are mastered and retained at a higher rate as the child learns thorough this process.

Positive reinforcement is stressed so that the child feels good about him or herself and the learning process. Creative Beginnings strives to make each child's first educational experience positive, so that s/he may "Discover the Magic of Learning!"
