Pine Village Preschool lives its mission through guided and unstructured play and exploration. Throughout each day, educators allow students to choose their own play, own responsibility in their problem solving, and control their own learning. Everything we do is based on the belief that each child is unique and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to what we do. The key element in helping a child develop to the fullest of their capabilities lies in discovering who they are. When we have knowledge of who the child is, what their personality is, then we have the tools we need to help that child grow each and every day. There is never a need to “change” who the child is, just simply a need to know who they really are, and how we can help them achieve their true potential.
