Northlake Preschools goal is to provide a program that is child-centered and that revolves around and responds to the individual needs of the children in our care.
We maintain low child-to-teacher ratios to ensure a learning environment that allows children to independently plan and explore, and that gives teachers many opportunities daily for one-on-one teachable moments.
We offer the children stimulation and room to move, make noise, and make mistakes in a safe and positive environment.
We acknowledge the importance of self-awareness and self-confidence by offering the children many ways to express themselves and to be proud of their accomplishments. Each child at Northlake Preschool feels valued and develops a sense of self-worth.
We encourage family involvement.
We work to promote critical thinkers who will participate in creating a caring culture in a world of differences.
