School Philosophy
At the Maple Street School, we believe children's work is their play. Children construct their knowledge about the world through interaction with the people and materials in it. We value the development of a child’s mind, body and spirit and we respond to the individual needs of each child. We facilitate each child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development through child-initiated activities.
We are dedicated to stimulating the innate curiosity of each child and supporting emotional growth and expression. We encourage students to express personal feelings honestly and to deal respectfully with the feelings of others. We believe preschool is an extension of home, a place where each child is nurtured in a warm, caring atmosphere. The Maple Street School is a supportive environment where teachers help students feel safe to take risks that lead to true growth.
The Maple Street School insures children have a rich, interactive, creative pre-school experience, and that they are prepared for their journey into kindergarten and beyond.
