| Philosophy
of Our Program |
| The
purpose of the West Falmouth Preschool is to involve parents
and children in a cooperative manner and on a non-profit basis.
To have children experience activities of an artistic, cultural,
scientific and physical nature. To provide growth through experiences
that will nurture a positive, supportive attitude towards themselves,
their family, school and community; and to help foster awareness
of the world around them. |
| Goals |
| The goals of
the West Falmouth Preschool program are to create a positive
learning environment. To promote self-confidence by means of
a flexible, semi-structured curriculum that incorporates social
as well as limited academic skills through a wide variety of
materials and media. We encourage children to create, investigate,
problem solve, experiment and share. The West Falmouth Preschool
is a warm, cozy place where we let kids be kids! |
| Parent
Cooperative |
| This is a parent
cooperative school. The parents are directly involved in many
facets of "running the school." Parents are expected
to clean the school on a regular basis (approximately every
4 to 6 weeks). Other parent cooperative responsibilities include
working on fundraising project(s) and one committee. |
| From time to
time, parents are asked to come into the classroom to help the
teachers with various projects |
| Parents are also
eligible to serve as an officer of the school for a one-year
term. |
