Canyon Creek Preschool

Preschool education is about the development of important skills - those that are needed in everyday living, in relationships with other people, and in being ready for school. We strive to have each child working to his/her full potential, in all developmental areas, and to have them feel good about themselves and the prospect of school. We believe a child’s play is his/her work. It is the one way he/she has of making sense of the world in which they live, and of developing their skills - emotionally, socially, intellectually, physically and spiritually. Due to the unique nature and capabilities of each child, we cannot expect them to have all reached the same level at the same time. What we can strive for though, is to capture the learning interests and curiosity of each child, through the experiences we offer, and by providing an environment in which the child feels free to explore and learn without fear of failure. As we are working towards developing all these skills in your child, we plan our program around what is known as the "process-centered" approach; that is, what is extremely important is the process by which the child discovers and learns. If we can instill good ways of learning things now, it will certainly help them in their efforts at school, and all through life
