The state preschool program is based on the premise that each child has a wealth of experiences to share. Each child is seen as a unique and capable individual. The program promotes and enhances children’s natural abilities and potential while recognizing and supporting the families and cultures of our target population. Developmentally appropriate activities based on the High Scope curriculum are provided through an integrated curriculum model, which encourages critical thinking, decision-making, following through on tasks, and problem solving.
