Philosophy

Scarboro Preschool is a safe and inspiring environment for learning in a fully inclusive program that embraces the individual learner on their journey to a strong sense of self.

The children become confident in areas of early literacy, number sense, physical literacy, exposure to language exploration. Each child’s journey will be individual. At Scarboro Preschool there is a focus on:

Self Image: Each child has a unique personality. They all possess different levels of emotional and social maturity as well as intellectual ranges. Our goal is to appreciate each child’s individuality and to encourage the development of a positive self-image.

Social Development: To encourage each child to express their feelings in a positive manner and to be in touch with the emotions they are feeling such as anger, sadness, happiness, joy, etc.

Physical Development: To provide an environment where children have the opportunity to use and develop fine and large motor skills in an atmosphere of success and safety.

Intellectual Development: To encourage each child to be excited and self-confident in integrating the basic foundations of learning, observing, questioning, classifying, and comparing.

Creative Development: To encourage each child to express themselves in many creative forms using language, art, drama, dance, and music.
