Howley School
Preschool in Trenton, NJ 08611
At Howley School LLC, we have an inherent understanding of and sensitivity to what makes children tick. It is our goal to nurture each child in social, emotional, physical, and cognitive areas, thereby promoting the development of the whole child. We believe that children develop socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually at a highly individualized pace. It is through play that children learn, and our state of the art classrooms provide a hands-on environment for active learning. The children are given the opportunity to work at their own pace and on their own level with developmentally appropriate materials.
We recognize the individuality of each child and want each childs pre-school experience to be challenging and rewarding. Our program will assist each child in developing independence, decision-making, and problem solving skills via learning activities that underscore cooperation, experimentation, cultural diversity, and self-sufficiency along with a love of learning. It is important to foster a positive working relationship between teachers, parents, and children which allows us to provide a strong and effective program to encourage pre-schoolers to adopt a humane posture that will blaze a trail to a successful school career.

Howley School LLC follows The Creative Curriculum, which has been recommended by the Trenton Board of Education as the guide for Pre-Kindergarten. This curriculum recognizes the diversity of the student population. Therefore we also believe that developmentally appropriate suggested techniques and activities result in a realistic working guide to meet the needs of a multicultural student population.
The curriculum provides general guidelines through goals and objectives for the teachers to follow. Please note this curriculum is not a manual for teachers but a guide, it merely provides the framework in which a teacher must develop his/her plans according to their students individual needs. At all times our curriculum will consider the development and learning style of each child as an individual.
Our curriculum stresses hands-on child-initiated activities, which stimulate and encourage the development of language, cognitive, physical, emotional, and social skills. The curriculum is planned in advance and integrated in all areas of a childs development. To help work through the curriculum, our classrooms will be divided into various learning centers. A learning center is an area in the classroom, which contains a collection of activities, and materials to teach, reinforce, and or enrich a skill or concept. These centers and activities help children develop a healthy self-concept and a feeling of accomplishment.
