Visionary Statement:
The Village Pre-School is a partnership of student, staff, parents and community where family tradition and diversity are embraced. Together we create a nurturing, yet stimulating learning environment, which fosters individuality, social responsibility, and an enthusiastic appetite for learning. We provide a solid foundation upon which children learn to be creative, effective communicators and develop a sense of inner strength and confidence to sustain them in the years ahead. Village Pre-School children learn to respect themselves and others, work cooperatively, and have a sense of pride and joy in their uniqueness. Our children gain the courage and comfort to take risks and become productive students.
