As a play-based cooperative preschool Linda Beach emphasizes the development of each child through independent and group play activities. The school was founded on the belief that children learn more in a gentle environment rich with age-appropriate stimuli and caring adults. Introducing children to the world around them involves love creativity and sensitivity. A nurturing atmosphere also promotes social development allowing children to expand their awareness of themselves and others.
While an academic curriculum is not the focus of the school care is given to gently guide the children toward kindergarten readiness. As they progress through the program play activities are structured to encourage the children to sit and listen for longer periods of time follow increasingly complex instructions and express themselves clearly. At all times your child’s physical and emotional well-being are the prime concerns of the teachers of Linda Beach.
As experienced teachers and mothers our teachers understand the importance of your child’s early school experience. Personal commitment to these issues is the cornerstone of the program. Your choice of a cooperative preschool showsthat you share this commitment.
