The Philosophy of the Little Falcons Preschool program is one of open acceptance for all children at varying developmental levels.
Our goal is to create a climate of respect, success and joy necessary for lifelong learning through –

  • development of self-esteem, confidence and individual potential;
  • recognition of variability and similarities among backgrounds, learning rates and learning styles of all children;
  • encouragement of child and adult active exploration and creative expression in a secure and consistent environment;
  • acceptance of each child’s view of his/her world and
  • continual parent involvement in the program.
