Values
Jollipoli Preschool is rooted in values and beliefs that support a positive learning environment:
Child-focused
All activities, play/work spaces and materials are developmentally appropriate and support active learning for children. Our high teacher-to-child ratio supports personalized learning and development outcomes for our children.
Whole-Child Development
We foster all aspects of children’s growth and development including problem-solving skills, empathy and respect, independence, language, social development, self-esteem and confidence. We value young children’s healthy development and learning.
Professionalism
We invest in our staff to provide the highest quality environment through extensive and on-going training and professional development.
Diversity
Our focus is on the individual child and our acceptance of differences. It is because of this philosophy that we are committed to incorporating and celebrating diversity in our program. One of the most important things that we do in our work with children, families and students is to encourage recognition and acceptance of each individual’s intrinsic and uniqueness. We believe that children should be nurtured in a way that respects their families’ own cultural and familial beliefs.
Family and Community Connection
At our core is a belief in the partnership between family and school in the endeavor to raise children. We help children flourish by providing opportunities for deep human connections to permeate all aspects of their lives. We help foster the social skills children need to thrive in the relationships they form throughout their lives. We value the participation of parents in their child’s early learning experience.
Sustainable
We are environmentally conscious in all that we do. Daily activities are carried out with the underlying concept of conservation and sustainability. We aim to help instill positive behaviors and interactions amongst the children and nature from an early start.
