Our program...
is based on the Bank Street model. It emphasizes personal growth. Academic skills and emotional social development are viewed as complementary processes; both are emphasized equally. The classroom is designed to provide a stable, organized environment. Within it, children participate actively, supported by teachers who help to expand their world and sensitize them to the meaning of their experiences within it. Academic skills are acquired within the broad context of direct experiences planned to provide appropriate ways of organizing and extending the children's expressed interests. Math, reading, and language are taught as tools to carry out an investigation of these interests. Under the guidance of the director Dr. Suzie Shapiro (Ed.D.) the teachers work to use this model to create a high quality education for your child.
