Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Primary & Elementary Schools
Mission: The mission of the school is to provide a traditional early childhood program. We strive to help each child develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually and to fulfill his or her potential in a structured yet nurturing environment. We are committed to maintaining a healthy balance between a non-competitive, supportive environment and a challenging experience through which children develop a strong sense of values and a positive image of themselves and of school. Our students are encouraged to be curious, independent and responsible, and to enjoy learning. We seek, in a judeo-christian setting, to give children the best possible preparation for their ongoing education, as well as for a rewarding life.
Programs: The school provides opportunities for each child to grow and learn through a variety of structured activities and free play experiences. Our age-appropriate curriculum allows children to explore ideas and develop skills through art, music dramatic play, creative movement and cooking. Field trips, interactive science experiences and readiness activities in reading and math further enhance the program. Experiences and activities are individualized to meet the needs of each child at his or her own stage of development. The episcopal school believes that its ultimate purpose is to give young children the finest preparation for life by fostering self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
